THE ACCUSED (1988)
CHARACTER Sarah Tobias, trailer-dwelling waitress
IMPERILED? In yet another extremely dark scene of sexual violence, Foster plays Sarah, who is gang-raped at a bar. She must also undergo the humiliation of the criminal justice system, which uses her less-than-pristine past and her alcoholism to cast doubt on her credibility.
EMPOWERED? Sarah persuades prosecutor Kathryn Murphy (Kelly McGillis) to help her face her assailants and those who egged them on in court.
