As she splattered through her supper, grumped at cards, slashed about the kitchen with a carving knife or preened luridly in a grown-up's party dress, the wound of adolescence opened slowly on the stage for all to see. At season's end she got a Donaldson award as the year's best supporting actress. A year later she went to Hollywood to make the movie version...
