Another famous one, based on a Stephen King novel. King’s sons were going to Vassar around this time and Vassar starts showing up in his books in the period—sometimes outright, sometimes more coded (Needful Things had a character named Mr. Jewett). The character point was retained for the screenplay, but this is far from the typical presentation of a Vassar girl—an angry, embittered, dark, jittery, and heavily self-medicated woman who went to Vassar on scholarship.
