CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:
14 year old Mattie is a simple, tough as nails young woman. Her steely nerves and straightforward manner are a shocking contrast to the way women behaved in the early century. She's possessed of true grit and plenty of determination. Enough so, that she insists on going with 2 marshals to hunt down the killer of her father.

'True Grit' will reportedly star Jeff Bridges in the role made famous by John Wayne, so expect lots of quips along the lines of "The Duke Abides."
