She Led Two Lives (1994 TV Movie)

Warning: Spoilers
Connie Sellecca plays Rebecca, a very immature woman who clearly doesn't know what real love is. She feels abandoned by her first husband, Jeffrey (Perry King), who's a surgeon and doesn't have much time for her, which is the normality in such a well-paid and high-end profession, especially if you work in a hospital. Her attitude annoys me because Jeffrey provides her the lifestyle she always wanted (as a socialite), with only a part time job as a professor in a university out of town. She is academically ambitious and her husband, although not perfect, is very supportive.

When she meets Mike, her old high-school sweetheart, things get complicated.

She doesn't tell Mike she's married and starts a whirlwind love affair that leads her to marry him on a whim just because Mike is a very pushy man and she wants to continue to live in this romantic fantasy world.

Foolishly, Rebecca believes she can keep two separate lives and love two men at the same time, since she only sees Jeffrey (her first husband) on the weekends.

She tries to convince herself that she loves both men for different reasons: Jeffrey is dependable and safe and Mike is passionate and makes her high.

This movie is not high art, it's rather entertaining because it's a trainwreck. They try to make it dramatic but it's borderline comedic. I really wanted to throttle Connie Sellecca for acting so silly and believing she could hold the charade forever. If you ask me, there is no way I would have cheated on Perry King because he's PERRY KING. LOL.
