Tess Harper and Chocolate Covered Donut
This morning I had the most terrible urge to shove multiple pastries into my mouth. This was surely due to my diet (I've lost 10 lbs since June!) and unrelated to watching Crimes of the Heart (1986) at 6:30 AM. But, speaking of, my goodness those Southern belles have major sweet tooths...
Lenny (Diane Keaton) eats multiple cookies in the first scene, Babe (Oscar nominated Sissy Spacek) pours ungodly amounts of sugar into her lemonade throughout, and though Meg (Jessica Lange) mostly smokes and drinks she will indulge in multiple banana splits in flashback or a giant slice of birthday cake for the finale.
On the final morning of this three day narrative, Lenny and Babe have made what appears to be about 8 burnt waffles (bottom left) with half a jar of syrup on standby, in addition to the remnants of waffles, scrambled eggs, ham, and orange juice, we can see that they've already consumed. Even their nosey neighbor/cousin Chick (Oscar-nominated Tess Harper) is seen shoving a chocolate covered donut into her mouth on this very morning before her final scene.
Over-acting burns lots of calories. Fuel up, ladies!
