BREAKDOWN
[CYNTHIA]
Female 40s-early 50s.
A steel worker; starting at the plant as a teenager, she and Tracey have been best friends ever since, and have given their lives to the line; focused, ambitious and sturdy; despite the derision of her colleagues, she applies for a promotion and finally escapes the line and becomes a floor manager; Cynthia’s loyalty to her colleagues and friends is tested when the closing of the plant is announced; ultimately she can’t save them or herself.
ETHNICITY: Black American
[JESSIE]
Female 40s.
A salt-of-the-Earth, working class woman who has been on the floor at the Olstead's factory since she was 18 years old; her beauty is fading along with her dreams; she gets through the days by drinking through the nights, and by maintaining a dry sense of humor about the whole situation; our heart goes to her; she wanted more from life and it passed her by.
ETHNICITY: Caucasian
[BRUCE]
Male, 40s.
Chris’ father and Cynthia’s estranged husband. Handsome, but fading fast; a former textile factory worker, now a smooth-talking heroin addict. He was once charismatic, but has fully succumbed to his addiction; still capable of being charming, but as his circumstances become increasingly desperate so does his behavior.
ETHNICITY: Black American
