Ruth Younger

Ruth Younger; the wife of Walter, and mother of Travis.

Ruth is a great wife and mother.  She is married to Walter, who clearly isn't the best of a husband and father. She has to deal with all the consequences of her husband.  All of his actions affect the family a lot. She also has to deal with him being totally disrespectful to her. It's a hard life for her, but she is also a great mother.

The actress I picked to portray Ruth, is Taraji P. Henson.

Taraji P. Henson

Taraji P. Henson is an awesome actress.  She has contributed to many movies.  She was amazing in I Can Do Bad All By Myself, and The Karate Kid. Her roles are so different, she is capable of any role, and this one is perfect. I think that she will give this character so much definition and adapt to her lifestyle immediately.
