MYRA BRUHL (Age 40-60) A match to Sidney, she is sophisticated and upper class...She is incredibly supportive of Sidney's career and altering moods. Sweet, caring,

of flops was beginning to grow. She is now his primary financial support.

her gift. Has a Slavic or European accent. Is disarming and brave when faced with pain and violence. Combines the uncanny powers of psychic divination with the everyday
frailties of a dotty old lady.

PORTER MILGRIM (Age 40-60) Suit and tie guy. Professional and personal long-time-friend to Sidney. A blend of New England decorum and obscene vice. By day an upright lawyer,
by night he makes dirty phone calls in a fake voice to his friends.
