Newman as “Lucille Abshire” – Clare’s mother. She is sweet but always slightly vague and emotionally aloof. Through most of Clare’s childhood, she has not been an ideal nurturer for Clare or her siblings. Her controlling husband runs the family and she follows along with little fuss.

Graham as “Mark Abshire” – Clare’s blunt speaking older brother, with whom she has never had a strong relationship. He’s in law school to follow in his father’s footsteps and takes after him in many ways.

THE DETAMBLE FAMILY

Siegel as “Annette DeTamble” – A talented and world-renowned opera singer, she’s a devoted mother to Henry. She is the heart and soul of the family. Braving torrid winter weather to pick up her husband for Christmas, Annette gets into a freak auto accident, changing young Henry’s life forever.

DeBonis as “Nell” – The Abshire’s longtime housekeeper, and friend to Clare. Although she’s patient towards the Abshire’s, there’s a tough side to her.
