Riva will play Delfina, Street smart, a tough beauty, pragmatic and nonchalant, Delfina works in the town’s saloon. She becomes friendly with Abigail when she comes to her for advice and Delfina tells her: “Welcome to the West. It ain’t for the faint of heart.” Delfina believes she can be looking at a different type of future once she starts going to Abigail’s class.
Dickey will portray Winnie Mae-Winnie, a workhorse, salt-of-the-earth pioneer woman. She does the grueling work of about eight people and pops out another baby every year. She’s passive-aggressive, mostly toward her husband, Frank, who likes to strum his guitar and sing while she works her ass off. Winnie Mae isn’t thrilled with the arrival of Abigail, who’ll be staying in her small, humble home. Winnie Mae is illiterate but smart, warm, observant and a 19th century feminist in her own way.
