 Places in the Heart
Royce. Royce Spalding was the sheriff. He is shot and killed shortly after the beginning of the movie.
Possum. I don't know if this was the girl's real name. If it was a nickname, her real name is never given.

Margaret. Her sister runs a beauty shop.
Margaret's daughter. We only see Rosa Lee once or twice, but she is mentioned several times.
Makes brooms and chairs. Mr. Will, played by John Malkovich, is blind. This is my favorite movie of his.

$100. She talks the man at the gin into bailing her cotton by reminding him that his gin has always ginned the first bale, but if he doesn't want to she would take it to Wheeler's Gin.
A bridge game at her house. Viola pulls her hand away when Margaret's husband tries to take the cards from her. Margaret sees this and knows. After the game, she asks him if she is right and he admits it. She slaps him (of course!).

Fighting in World War I. Mr. Denby uses this as conversation, because Mr. Will is not in the mood to talk. Who can blame him? Mr. Denby is pushing him out of his home.
