...the great oerformance by veteran actress Shirley Knight, as the ling-time and dutiful and unappreciated legal Secretary, Phyllis Todd is in abdolute and unbelueveable contrast to the typically blonde bimbo performance of Beth Touissant as her jilted "used and abused" daughter, Angela Todd....
...Touissant, whose believability jived with a mindless "beach babe" or professional hooker is simply unbelievable as anything remotely close to "attorney material"...
... her early career revolved around modeling and appearances in MTV videos for various '80's pop rock groups...followed by brief roles on "Dallas" and the ill-fated WB prime time soap, "Savannah"...
...stick to the soaps, Beth... where lip implants and bottle blonde air-head looks are the norm; but leave serious drama to the pros...
