| Annie Oakley: |
Back woods country girl - who has become a
crack shot by shooting game to feed her little
sisters and brother. She falls in love with Frank
Butler at first sight. She becomes an international
sharp shooting star with Buffalo Bill troupe -
which hinders her romance with Frank. She's
warmhearted, funny, gutsy but vulnerable. |
| Hattie: |
The take-charge, energetic, shrewd general
manager of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. In her
late 30's. Devious at times but basically honest
and warm hearted. Dry sense of humor. |
Dolly: |
Early 20's.
Assistant to Frank Butler in his sharp shooting acts. Stuck-up
and jealous of Annie.
Teased by Annie's brothers and sisters. No sense
of humor. |
Pearl
Wilson: |
Down to earth, no nonsense, 50'ish owner of
Hotel Buffalo Bill's troupe wants to use.
Warmhearted to Annie. A "character part."
Country accent. |
Jessie,
Minnie and
Nellie: |
Annie's little sisters - ages 12, 10, 9. Fiercely
protective and proud of Annie. Country accents.
They travel with her when she joins Buffalo Bills
troupe. |
