I've seen both movies, "Tracy Thurman" and "Strange Voices". But due to the "intensity" of both roles (TT more than the other), it's not something I could watch over and over again...

Though something did disturb me... I notice the heavy kissage Nancy & Dale were doing in the first 'sex scene' and uh... is that because they were dating? I read somewhere on here that they were during shooting (which is also kinda weird since his char essentially beats hers to a pulp...) and since I assumed most actors/actresses only stage-kissed... I wasn't sure. All I gotta say is, waaaay too much tongue! *shudder* LOL. Anyone else agree?

Anyone have a clip of that kissing scene? It would be interesting to see since we would never see Nancy do that on FOL.

I think I actually remember seeing this movie when it was on TV. I was probably 8 or 9 and remember recognizing Nancy as the girl on that show (Jo on The Facts of Life). My parents were watching it and I watched for a bit and was really freaked out. I remember the violent parts as quite graphic. I'm not sure if it was because I was so young that it seemed so graphic or because it really was. I think it would be difficult for me to watch even now since domestic violence always disturbed me.

These are the images that I remember from the movie:

- Nancy's character lying on the ground at one point.
- Husband chasing after her.
- A little boy sitting in a restaurant and his father pouring him milk.
- Violence.
- Husband's mustache.

I really want to see this movie, but I just read some comments on IMDB about the final beating of Tracey Thurman and I really don't think I can handle it...:S

I ALREADY DO

THANKU KELL, AS WELL AS 80'S GUY. I DON'T KNOW HOW I MISSED IT! I SEARCHED FOR OVER AN HOUR FOR PICS. IT'S THE SAME SITE WHERE I POSTED MY LINK ABOUT HER SON. I THINK THAT WAS THE SAME PIC I HAD PRINTED OUT AND HAD ON MY WALL. THE SCAR SEEMED MORE VIVID THOUGH.

I'M GLAD WE CAN SHARE THESE THINGS NOW. WE MUST NEVER FORGET WHAT HAPPENED TO TRACY, AND JUST REMEMBER, THERE ARE WOMEN WORLDWIDE WHO ARE RAPED, BEATEN, TORTURED, MISUSED AND FORGOTTEN ABOUT. AT LEAST WE HAVE SOME TYPE OF COURT SYSTEM. WHICH YES, SEEMS TO BE FOR THE RIGHTS OF THE PERPETRATOR MORE TIMES THAN NOT, BUT IN MANY PLACES IN INDIA AND AFRICA, AS WELL AS OTHERS, MANY WOMEN ARE TREATED LIKE USED TOILET PAPER. AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT FOR A LAUGH. THAT IS THE TRUTH. THEY ARE TREATED LIKE THEY ARE NOTHING. TOSSED AWAY LIKE TRASH, AND IN MANY CASES BY THEIR FAMILIES, BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THE GIRLS, YES GIRLS ARE RAPED, THE FAMILIES ARE ASHAMED OF THEM, AND THEY ARE ABANDONED. THEY HAVE LITTLE OR NO VOICE AT ALL. BUT THAT IS SLOWLY CHANGING

ANYONE SEE OPRAH'S SEGMENTS? EVER DO ANY RESEARCH? NOW MANY PEOPLE MAY NOT THINK MUCH OF ANGELINA JOLIE, BUT I READ HER BOOK ABOUT HER MISSIONS AS A GOODWILL AMBASSADOR A FEW YEARS BACK. IT MOVED ME. SO MUCH SO THAT IF I CAN GET MY LIFE IN ORDER TO DO SO, WITHIN THE NEXT 5 YEARS, I WOULD LIKE TO WORK EITHER IN AFRICA, INDIA, CAMBODIA OR SUDAN, MAINLY TO HELP EITHER REFUGEES OR TO ASSIST WOMEN AND GIRLS IN WHATEVER IS THE BEST WAY TO DO SO, ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH AND THE EXPERTS. MY FRIENDS THINK I'M CRAZY. A BLONDE WHITE GIRL GOING TO THESE PLACES, BUT I DON'T CARE. NEVER WAS ONE TO BE AFRAID-MUCH, OR AT LEAST SHOW IT WHEN I WAS. THAT'S THE JO IN JODI.

I KNOW. ANOTHER RANT OFF THE SUBJECT. SORRY. THIS SUBJECT MATTER IS VERY SENSITIVE TO ME, AND HOPEFULLY TO EVERY OTHER WOMAN, AS WELL AS MEN. SO PLEASE, DON'T SEND ME MAIL STATING I VEAR OFF THE SUBJECT. THAT'S PART OF JO jr, DONT'CHA KNOW

I'M NOW GOING TO TRY TO FIND AN ARTICLE ON TRACY'S LOW LIFE EX SO YOU CAN GET EVEN MORE ENRAGED

*ADDED* OK, HERE IS SOME MORE INFO I FOUND, AND PROBABLY THE ARTICLE I WAS REFERRING TO EARLIER.
