Redheads: Gillian Owens

gillian1

Gillian Owens is a character played by Nicole Kidman in the movie Practical Magic.  Gillian is the sister who runs away to start living life as soon as she can; the party girl who basically goes from man to man trying to find one who sticks.  When one of the men is trouble for her, she comes home and needs her sister, Sally, to help her out with a little of the family magicks.

I loved this movie, and also the book by Alice Hoffman that the movie was based on.  It’s about being afraid, and how we decide to deal with our fears, especially in the context of relationships. Gillian is a bit of a trouble-maker, the wild-child, and I’m sure I could come up with a few more stereotypical hyphenations, but her place here is as a foil for her more conservative sister.
