Robin Wright portrayed the titular hero's childhood love in the 1994 Oscar-winning classic.
Promoting her new film “Here,” which reunites her with “Gump” co-star Tom Hanks and director Robert Zemeckis, actress Robin Wright appeared on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and finally gave her take to a popular fan opinion: Jenny is the true villain of the film.
Some would argue this portrays Jenny as a coldhearted person who, to borrow Forrest’s words, does not know what love is, when it’s right in front of her. But others consider this unfair to a character who suffered abuse as a child and did all she could to escape her childhood trauma and find meaning and happiness on her own terms. Jenny doesn’t owe romantic love to Forrest, despite his unwavering kindness.
Colbert responds, “I’m not sure what Mama would have said,” referencing Forrest’s mother, played by Sally Field.
