- How does the character look?After learning that she is the forth white woman her boyfriend has dated Kennedy begins to question, “What was it, exactly, that Frantz liked about her? How could she ever hope to keep him interested”(Bennett 274). Kennedy begins to recognize her replaceability as a lover because the common factor between her and Frantz 'past lover was their whiteness and nothing more. For the first time, she considers her whiteness as one of the main reasons she is in a relationship with Frantz.
- BAR RESERVED FOR CAST PARTY
- What does the character think about?After Kennedy’s soap opera character was written off the show, fans who despised her character wrote her hate mail. “She didn’t care if fans loved or hated her, it was attention all the same and nobody had ever felt strongly enough about her character she’d played to write to her ''(Bennett 283). From a young age, Stella emotionally neglected Kennedy. This created a void within Kennedy, which makes her settle for any source of attention, no matter the source.
- Where have they been/ where are they going?Without warning Kennedy up and moved to New York City. Her reasoning was as follows, “In Los Angeles, every actor she knew with sense was obsessed with breaking into Hollywood, because everyone with sense knew that Hollywood was where the money was”(Bennet 273). Kennedy never experienced poverty in her life, so making money to survive wasn’t her top priority. She simply wanted to do theater, and every other aspect of her life followed suit behind that desire.
- What are some key things they say? At the cast party, Kennedy felt most unloved by her mother, who from Kennedy’s perspective, missed her closing performance. Meanwhile she saw the relationship Jude had with her boyfriend and the love they shared for each other, love she would never receive from Stella. To hurt Jude, Kennedy said, “‘Nobody expects someone like him to be with you, do they?.. Your men usually like the light girls, don’t they?”(Bennett 251). Kennedy weaponized Jude’s insecurity of being undesirable against her. Kennedy’s parental trauma of never being enough to win and attention and love of Stella drove her to hurt Jude.
- What is something the character cannot do?Stella first started to gaslight Kennedy from a young age that she didn’t come from Mallard like she had previously told her daughter. “This was the first time Kennedy realized that her mother was a liar”(Bennett 270). For years, Kennedy still cannot convince her mother to admit the truth of her past. This makes Kennedy feel inadequate, because she feels as though her mother doesn’t believe she deserves to know the truth about her.
- What do they do well?Kennedy was preparing for her role in a musical called Silent River. “She worked harder in that musical than she’d ever worked at anything…Nobody who’d ever met her would believe this but it was true: for weeks, she barely spoke at all ”(Bennett). Kennedy shaped her whole life around her theatrical role. Every aspect of her life was affected, even how much she communicates. This shows that she is very dedicated to theater.
