Barbara Waggoman
Late in the movie Barbara says she doesn’t want to remain any longer alone in the room with Will for fear something being said that couldn’t be unsaid. Obviously she’s been attracted to him since they first met and she claimed no one had ever said anything nicer to her in her life (that she was beautiful).
I thought it was interesting that Will and Barbara’s feelings for one another were never spelled out and the possibility of a romance left open. Was it because the large age gap between the actors would have made a kissing scene awkward? Or that it would have been unseemly for her to take up with Will so soon after Vic’s death?
