Playing a sexually repressed woman who’s husband is having affair with her sister, southerner Andie McDowell’s vulnerability was captivating to watch on film in one of Erin Brockovich director Steven Soderbergh’s earliest films. Her character, Ann, has never had an orgasm and her husband John is sleeping with her sister on the sly. We discover revenge, involving sex and a video camera, can be sweet. This was Andie’s break out role after a successful career as a model and before she reached super fame by starring in 1990’s Green Card the next year, and also Groundhog Day in 1993. The Steven Soderbergh film also won the Sundance Audience Award in 1989.
