Character Descriptions

Elwood P. Dowd - 47 year old male who is best friends with a Pooka named Harvey. Elwood spent time being "oh so smart and oh so pleasant," and learned that it's best to be plesant. He is very kind natured and genuine with impecible manners. Lived with his mother until she died, and she left her estate to him. He enjoys an occasional drink and is a Taurus.


Veta Louise Simmons - Elwood's sister, 52 years old; embarassed by Elwood's friend Harvey (even though she feels she sees him sometimes). Rich, snobby, and is trying to con Elwood out of his estate money. She is a Leo.


Nurse Kelly - the nurse/receptionist of Chumley's Rest, 25. She is super sexy, but not a floozy! and is having relations with Dr. Sanderson. (see image at bottom)


Dr. Sanderson - 28, handsome and charming--perhaps the top of his med. school class; a real go-getter. He is having relations with Nurse Kelly.


Dr. Chumley - 60, head doctor at Chumley's Rest; pompus, confident, the best and he knows it!


Myrtle Mae Simmons - Veta's daughter and Elwood's niece, 17 years old, bratty and spoiled by Veta; she's on the astronomical "cusp"


Wilson - muscle man of the sanitarium, 25, a little dense; follows orders, but not without a little flack


Judge Gaffney - 60, stern and lawful, doesn't mess around. He is Veta's lawyer


Lofgren, the cab driver - your everyday run-of-the-mill cabbie, essentially the voice of reason. He, however, is upset about not getting his cab fare.


Mrs. Chumley - very kind natured high brow woman, 55, who just wants her husband to pay attention to her!

Mrs. Ethel Chauvenent - rich, snobby, gossiper, 55. She is charmed by Elwood, maybe because of his money, but is not entirely sure of the whole Harvey bit.

Maid, Miss Johnson - Veta's house maid.
