Even after Eileen's recovered alcoholic husband (Michael McGrady) leaves their marriage because he's had it up to here with her constant exasperation, she tightly yanks up the ends of her mouth and expands her eye sockets in that anxious 'nothing to see here, folks, move along' sort of way she can't let Monsignor Murphy (Richard Chamberlain) - who has nominated her for Catholic Woman of the Year - find out any of this. According to her, the beautiful sketch of familial bliss is smeared because her children aren't residents of her moral Shangri-La: her married son (Jason Ritter) philanders and her pregnant daughter (Emily Deschanel) is about to marry her girlfriend. In her newest picture, Turner plays Eileen Cleary, who isn't a femme fatale, but she manages to kill every mood and emotionally strangle loved ones with her precisian viewpoints.
