...cups a rose at one point in the story, bends to it and watches it blow away in her hands. That might not be the most subtle scene Frears has ever shot, but Pfeiffer's expression, wry, exasperated, sad, is the payoff. Lea is tragically self-aware: while enjoying afternoon tea with former colleagues, which tends to be an amusing, banter-filled affair, she shudders with revulsion at the sight of a portly woman of about her own age - although less well preserved - clutching what looks to be a teenager to her décolletage...
...1970s ever need Farrah Fawcett. Watergate and the Nixon resignation, soaring crime rates and gas prices - bad news everywhere - had the nation in need of a tonic, or a diversion, which is almost as therapeutic.

"Our highway system is world class, but we've neglected public transit along the same way." (See pictures of Washington...
...pictures. She told me later that she had picked out her top two favorites and marked them on the slides. I've since heard that when the guy in Cleveland got the pictures, he went, "First of all, where's the bikini?" He told me he wasn't ever gonna pay me, because he hated the pictures. But I guess he showed them around to people in his business and they changed his mind. It was Farrah's pose, Farrah's suit, Farrah's idea. She picked that shot. She made a lot of money for him and for herself...
