Mr. Mehas, I have another question. Is the woman that the Ben character is engaged to in the movie the woman he is married to now? In her interview segment in the movie it appeared that she might be working as stripper or something of that nature so I wasn’t sure. Just curious.
That was actually the lovely Heather Wahlquist. She was just playing the part of a stripper. I have no reason to believe that had anything to do with Ben’s real life, but I’m glad it came off so realistically, aren’t you?
I mean I knew she was an actress I just wondered who her real life counterpart was, but yes the movie is extremely realistic. I’ve seen it many times and during the tragic scene I still cringe as much as I did the first time. Foster should have been nominated for an Oscar.
