| ~ Olivia abusing her grandchildren |
Olivia Foxworth is the secondary antagonist of the 1987 movie Flowers in The Attic, one of the film adaptations of the namesake romance but the only version to count as Pure Evil. She is a religious fanatic who physically and psychologically abuses her grandchildren, whom she keeps imprisoned in an attic with the complicity of her daughter Corrine Dollanganger, the children's mother.
In the 1987 film adaptation, she was portrayed by Louise Fletcher.
What Makes Her Pure Evil?[]
- Whipped her daughter Corrine and forced her to show her children the injuries.
- Forces the grandchildren to stay in the loft of the house so that the husband does not know about their existence.
- Unlike the 2014 version, which most likely did not even know that Corrine was poisoning the children, because if she had known, being against it, she would have done something to avoid it, since she was the boss of the house, this version helps her daughter to poison children to get rid of them. She does not tell the children in this version, they find out for themselves. This version is pure evil because it does not have the redeeming qualities that the more extended versions have.
- She starves her grandchildren, looking them in the attic for months, being fed only with the poisoned cookies.
- When Corrine's younger sons confronted her, she beat them mercilessly.
- She broke Cathy's music box, when she sees her sleeping with her brother and when she sees them taking a shower together, she locks Chris in a closet and cuts Cathy's hair
Trivia[]
- The 2014 film adaptation, in which she was portrayed by Ellen Burstyn, does not present Olivia Foxworth as Pure Evil, because in the sequel, Petals To the Wind, Olivia proves to be really horrified by Corrine's infamous decision to kill her own children.
