So that was the big secret? I watched only through the questioning of the wife's previous boyfriend and then got bored. Also, annoyed with the idea that suburbs were the risky new thing in 1958. Damnit, Levittown had been around for almost a decade by then!
She's not just a blob of energy, she's also a 14-year-old hormone bomb.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How white is Rashida Jones? Enough? More than Jennifer Lopez, say?
I am kind of fascinated that Rashida Jones is playing parts that are, if not white, at least not racially defined or discussed. I guess she's white enough that a lot of people don't know she's biracial...

Shit's all sorts of different now.
How white is Rashida Jones?
It appears half. Her mom is listed as being Irish and something else Caucasian, and Quincy Jones is listed as having an African-American family.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not sure what you mean, exactly.
Her dad's black, but she seem casts as white. I mean, is she too white to be Will Smith's onscreen girlfriend? He tops out at Latina.

Pretty much. It kinda tied into why he died, but not how I'd have expected-- he was trying to integrate Libertyville, but the mortgage he approved for a black guy got cancelled and the black guy flipped.

Yeah, I've only seen her in parts where her race is never brought up.

ita--so then how did the mortgage rejectee get into the all-white country club to kill the guy ?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I just got taken off my work project due to budget cuts. It's not being laid off, precisely, but since I'm a contractor, I'm the first to go. The company will send other work my way if they have it. No idea how likely that is.

“Not dead yet!”
Kathy-- He didn't.
The fight and the actual death occurred at different locations.
