...year. Those who knew her describe Monica as a big-hearted and reliable friend. Recalls Dick Morgan, a former neighbor: "She was a listener who was interested in people." But some also remember her as sharp-tongued and talking too much. She liked name dropping, telling friends she knew Tori Spelling and the Menendez brothers back in Beverly Hills High. (Spelling said last week that she did not know Lewinsky.) She once spotted a teacher and student together in a convertible and promptly dished the tidbit to her friends. Yet a close friend says she was "very tight with...
...another dysfunctional-family Thanksgiving drama, this time with a little incest and crises of identity thrown in. Josh Hamilton plays a troubled fellow who brings home his supremely normal fiancee (Tori Spelling, who's surprisingly good in this sugar-cookie role) only to confront the ghost of his past in his sister, "Jackie O" (a delightfully demented Parker Posey), who sports an obsession with the JFK assassination among her myriad kooky charms.

Think of an old-dark-house party catered by Noel Coward. A place as creepy as the Pascals' needs a virgin sacrifice, and that would be Lesly (Tori Spelling), a waitress engaged to the young master of the house, Jackie-O's twin Marty (Josh Hamilton). He's halfway between normal and nuts, while Jackie lives in lunacy as if it were the garden room at high tea. Her favorite delusion is that she is Jacqueline Kennedy on the day of her husband's death. She's just a bit confused about the identity of the assassin...
