Dolores Claiborne Formats: DVD / VHS Released (US): March 24th, 1995
Synopsis:
Suspected of killing Vera Donovan (Judy Parfitt), her wealthy employer, Dolores Claiborne (Kathy Bates) tells police detective John Mackey (Christopher Plummer) the story of her life, harkening back to her disintegrating marriage and the suspicious death of her violent husband, Joe St. George (David Straithairn), thirty years earlier. Complicating matters is the return of her estranged daughter, Selena St. George (Jennifer Jason Leigh), after a 15 year year absence. As the story unfolds, Selena is forced to face demons from her past and in the process discovers a side of her mother (and father) she had refused to acknowledge while growing up.

What I like best about Dolores is that she shared her eclipse with Gerald's wife. What i like 2nd best, is her ferocity in defending her daughter.. I'm jealous of her fortitude. She is my hero.

Hi there! I think you are a fabulous author! My dream is to write a book! Anyway...I never got a chance to read this book. I saw the movie with a friend and we loved it! Right now I found a book at a yard sale called "Four Past Midnight" which I'm reading now and can't put down! Your brilliant! Keep up the great work! Barb

I remember a preview of this film on TV and getting very excited. If you have read the book then be prepared for a large amount of the info to have been stripped from the movie, but still you are left with a very moving film and Kathy once again proves she and King go together.
