Towards the end, someone asks the Glenn Close character: "What's your occupation?" She responds: "I'm a King-maker." That's the universal marital theme/complaint touched upon here: wives upset about husbands taking credit for the success wives precipitate. To that effect, we're shown an extreme situation: woman acting as ghost-writer, for man to receive the 1992 Nobel Prize in Literature. As if that corollary wasn't extreme enough, I learn the story is fictitious. Why? Wasn't the basis discussion-worthy enough? After 6 no-win nominations, Close may finally win her Oscar, and we're introduced to newcomer Starke, who has a shot at stardom.
