13 roles
The “King of Junk” who fought his way up from nothing and now owns dozens of junkyards which have made him a multi-millionaire.
A former chorus girl in New York and Brock’s long-time “fiancee” who never cared much about education (“I’m stupid and I like it. As long as I know how to get what I want, I’m happy.”)
A reporter who is “one of the guys to look out for in this town”, who suspects Brock is up to no good. At first, tutoring Billie seems a good way to find out what Brock is up to, but finds himself getting sidetracked by Billie, in more than one way.
Brock’s lawyer, a once respected Washington lawyer whose fondness for booze has taken him from Asst. Attorney General to Brock’s stooge and co-conspirator. He retains a kernel of dignity, however.
A man who has given in to corruption but tries to put a good face on it. When Billie forces him to look in the mirror, he doesn’t like what he sees.
A woman adept at playing the perfect wife of a prominent man. She goes to events and plays cards with other wives like her and is nonplussed at Billie’s lack of sophistication.
Brock’s yes-man, valet, driver, and muscle, should that be needed; also his cousin.
An efficient, officious man, eager to please rich clientele, no matter how unusual their behavior.
A maid, a woman of similar background to Billie.
