Nashville/Characters


There is no exact definition of who's a main character and who's not, but here are the ones that get the most screen time:

  • Barbara Jean (Ronee Blakley), the darling of the country music world. She's frail, lonely, and emotionally spent, but tries to keep a smile on anyway. She's responsible for more than a few of the movie's best musical moments. Also, she gets assassinated in the end.
  • Haven Hamilton (Henry Gibson), an aging, egotistical country music legend with political aspirations.
  • Barnett (Allen Garfield), Barbara Jean's emotionally abusive manager/husband. A Col. Parker type, he's more interested in his wife's career than his wife's crumbling sanity.
  • Linnea Reese (Lily Tomlin), a middle-aged gospel singer/housewife stuck with an inept husband and two deaf kids. She is torn between loyalty to her Homer Simpson-esque spouse and the advances of a charming womanizer.
  • Tom Frank (Keith Carradine), one-third of the rock trio Bill, Mary, and Tom.
