I Think About Bill Paxton’s Fiancée in Twister a Lot


You may think Twister is a fun natural-disaster popcorn flick, but it is in fact a horror movie about a nightmare third-wheel scenario.

Melissa, a kindhearted career woman with a mild, southern charm, is more than accommodating and gracious while accompanying Bill to collect divorce papers from his estranged wife, Dr. Joanne “Jo” Harding (Hunt). Here, the cringey sizing up begins: Jo, effortlessly cool, like Lara Croft in a tank top with windswept hair, talks shop about tornadoes and jumps off the back of a pickup truck with ease. Another chase of an F3 (the 3 stands for “third wheel”) leaves Melissa on the side of the road, gripping a comically large patio umbrella while getting whipped in the face with high winds — all while her fiancé has a passionate argument with his ex about her childhood trauma in the pouring, sexy rain.
