"Long-Limbs Lenore" is one of two sleazy women alongside "Cunning Carla", who Lieutenant Dan frolicks with on New Year's 1972. When she arrives at the bar and sees Forrest, she asks Lt. Dan who is his friend which he replies "My name is Forrest, Forrest Gump", then Lt. Dan introduces him to Lenore and Carla.
Lenore then takes out her makeup and then points to a place on television and tells Lt. Dan and Forrest that she and Carla were just there at Times Square. She then asks Forrest if he loves New Year’s, and then adds he can start all over and that everyone gets a second chance.
When the ball drops, Lenore and Carla peck each other on the lips, then wish Forrest a happy new year and kiss him on the cheeks, then they walk to the crowd to kiss strangers. Afterwards Lenore, Carla, and Forrest go with Lt. Dan back to his hotel room to celebrate by swinging, the careless Lenore chain-smokes and gets drunk off of vodka before trying to roughly make out with Forrest and grabbing on his crotch, which causes Forrest to panic and stands up nervously as he accidently causes the tipsy Lenore to fall to the floor, she quickly stands up angrily and asks Forrest if he's stupid or something and if he lost it in the war, the speechless and humiliated Forrest doesn't respond to her.
When Carla asks Lt. Dan if Forrest is stupid or something, he throws her on the bed and tells her not to call Forrest stupid; Lenore tells Lt. Dan not to push Carla, to which Lt. Dan kicks both girls out and accidently falls out of his wheelchair during the process; Lenore calls him a loser and a freak, and then leaves with Carla.
Lenore is played by Marla Sucharetza.
