Answer: ILLEGITIMATE

For several years Anney would go down to the county courthouse to try and have the ILLEGITIMATE removed; it wasn't until the courthouse burned down that she was able to get Bone a new birth certificate without that word written across it.

6. When Bone's Aunt Ruth gets sick and she goes to live with her to help out, her cousin stops by for a visit. What is the name of the actress who plays cousin DeeDee?

Answer: Christina Ricci

Correct answer- Christina Ricci. She has a small cameo role in this movie, but her character makes an impact on Bone, making her realize there's life outside of their small South Carolina town.

7. Anney marries Lyle Parsons, a kind and gentle man that treats Bone like his own daughter. He and Anney have a daughter of their own named Reese. How was Lyle killed?

Answer: Car accident

Dermot Mulroney played Lyle Parsons, the father Bone never had. He loved her like his own. Because of his love, Bone knew what a true fathers love is supposed to feel like.

8. When Glen caught Bone looking at an old picture of her and Lyle, he took the picture from her and ripped it up. What did Bone do with the picture after that?

Answer: Buried them

Glen, played by Ron Eldard, was furious at Bone for looking at the photo because he knew that Bone missed him and the life she had with him as her father.

9. What does Anney give the girls to eat when they can't find any food in the house?

Answer: Soda crackers with ketchup, salt and pepper on top.

Due to Glen rarely holding a job, they barely make ends meet with Anney's job as a waitress.

10. At the end of the movie Anney shows up and gives Bone her new birth certificate. What happens to Bone after that?

Answer: She stays living with Aunt Raylene and Uncle Earle.

The ending is all too familiar when it comes to women forgiving their abusers and staying with them, even at the expense of their own children. In the end Bone tries to accept that Anney really loves Glen, but loves her too.
