...time is about all they have to offer each other. The Actress (Jacqueline Sloan) tries to take advantage of a quiet moment alone with the Professor (Shawn Hainsworth). She desperately tries to seduce him. But onto the scene arrives the Actress's husband, the Ballplayer (Chris Cabot) to prevent the affair from ever happening. The script gives the illusion of suspense but never resolves the dissonance it creates. More questions seem to be asked than answered in this fragmented plot...

At home the postman keeps bringing carts of mail full of sympathy and admiration. Jansen may have fallen on the ice, but the world would reach out if it could to lift...
Affluenza victims often go to great lengths to hide their privileged status. Swanee Hunt, the daughter of Texas Billionaire H.L. Hunt, kept her identity secret from schoolmates. Marriage and a change of name were not camouflage enough; at her request, she and her husband moved to Europe. "I spent a lot of years trying to escape," says Hunt, who now lives in Denver. As a student at Yale, Boston's Pillsbury regularly denied any connection with the well- known name and steered clear of talking about his exotic vacations.
