see his friend happy, even it it requires scheming and outright deception. Has
boyish charm and sex appeal.

Mid 20’s to 30’s
|
The sensible, responsible half of the upcoming song and dance team The Haynes

she runs the Generals life in spite of his protestation. She is an irrepressible
meddler, but always for what she believes is be the other guys best interests.
A winning, appealing character – comedienne with a clarion belt voice
