Your character Sam Green in Savage Grace has sex with both Barbara Baekeland and her son Tony, who were played by Julianne Moore and Eddie Redmayne.
It stars Julianne Moore as Barbara Baekeland, the wealthy wife of the Bakelite plastics heir and demented mother of Tony Baekeland (Eddie Redmayne), who later murdered her because she was constantly trying to turn him straight.
In his later years Leo Baekeland became a fervent peace campaigner and eventually sold his company to chemical giant Union Carbide.
