No one CARED ENOUGH :( julietdavis.com Obese characters add physical weight to cannibalistic themes, both supporting and breaking with traditions of woman as destructive devourer. In the 1993 movie What's Eating Gilbert Grape? the answer is: everyone in Gilbert's family, but especially his obese mother and the guilt she instills in him about taking care of his family when she cannot. Anna Nicole Smith may at first seem like the typical "man-eater" as well-the black widow image, accused of symbolically devouring her eighty-two-year-old husband with her youthful sexuality, and then scavenging his remains. A former erotic dancer and Playboy bunny, Smith allegedly married her wealthy husband just for his money (and was sued for the inheritance she collected after his death). Each week audiences tune in to the new reality-based Anna Nicole Show to watch Anna "feed"-she shops for a new house; buys custom-designed furniture; gambles in Los Vegas; strolls through an amusement park; and orders around her personal assistant and lawyer, both of whom wait on her hand and foot, sacrificing their own most basic needs to satisfy her petty whims (e.g., Anna coerces her motion-sick assistant to ride every roller coaster with her; Anna demands that everyone participate in a food-eating contest that makes us all sick). There is no plot to this Faustian folly-just one large woman eating her way through a half-hour of our lives. So, why all the public intrigue with the show? Perhaps never before have we seen a woman so honestly and whole-heartedly confess and act out her own most visceral desires, with what is apparently the complete lack of inhibition that large amounts of cash can afford. We see her cry at her deceased husband's urn of ashes. Did she really love him? Yes, she claims: no one else ever cared about her enough to give her everything she wanted.
