Forrest heads to New York City in late 1971 to check on his old friend and commanding officer, Lieutenant Dan. The man isn't doing well, living in squalor and spending most of his time drinking and cavorting with two women of questionable repute, "Long Limbs Lenore" and "Cunning Carla." The four wind up in Lt. Dan's residence, and Lenore tries to make a pass at Forrest. He awkwardly rejects, and she gets mad, calling Forrest stupid. That sets off Lt. Dan, who throws the women out in his rage. In the tumult, he falls out of his wheelchair, and Lenore obnoxiously laughs at him, calls him a "freak," and leaves. Not cool, Lenore.
Presumably Marla Sucharetza, the actress who played Lenore, is a lot nicer. Forrest Gump marked her first role in a major movie, and in its wake, she's had a long career as a character actor. Sucharetza popped up in TV shows like Seinfeld, Damages, The Good Wife, Law & Order (original flavor and Special Victims Unit, playing different roles), and in movies like The Station Agent and Road Trip. In that sex comedy, she played "Sperm Bank Nurse."
And while Sucharetza only acts occasionally these days, a look at her Twitter page shows she keeps active with yoga and spa treatments.
