Lynn, starring Kim Basinger, has a lot of drama but is a supporting role.

Wearing a black long coat and walking slowly when she appeared on the stage, she couldn't see her face at first. After she turned her head, she had a black hat with a white border. But judging from the whole film, she is not.

Lynne is full of flattery, and the temptation to cover up flows in the dark, tempting everyone, that kind of temperament, as long as a man can't stand it, Congressman Roger, Bud, Edmund all took the bait, Bud did not regard her as a star , Which makes her feel respected, but that is not love.

Seducing Bud was premeditated, and it was no different from seducing Edmund. Provoking a conflict between them is nothing more than hoping that they will kill each other. As for whoever dies, it will be satisfactory.

Seduction and blackmail are their specialty, even without Edmund. The picture of her and Bud in bed will come in handy sooner or later. As the top card among those senior prostitutes, it's impossible for Lynn to understand this. Lynn waited for Bud to come to her, showing that she already knew the truth.

Bud asked: What's the matter between you and Edmund?

Lynn: I thought I was helping you.

This is a complete lie, and if she thinks this is helping Bud, then she is a pure fool. Does Bud need help? Did he and Edmond have an irreconcilable conflict that needed her to go to bed with Edmond to resolve it?

From the beginning of the film to the end, Lynn's words and deeds show that she is not a fool, so she can only lie.

She didn't fall in love with him at all before, she was just acting, acting in the play requested by the boss, Bud's injured look in the heavy rain shocked her, maybe she had a little bit of love for Bud from that moment.

It can only be said that women are inherently weak, no matter what they have done, they can be forgiven.

That’s why Lynn had the opportunity to say: Someone won the world, some won a good prostitute and a trip to Arizona.
