Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Heiress is a 1949 film directed by William Wyler. It is adapted from the 1947 play of the same name by Ruth and Augustus Goetz, which in turn is an adaptation of the novel Washington Square by Henry James.Catherine Sloper (Olivia de Havilland) is a cripplingly shy woman who lives with her widowed father, Dr. Austin Sloper (Ralph Richardson), and his flighty sister, Lavinia Penniman (Miriam Hopkins). Viewed by everyone as lacking personality, it's a big surprise when handsome, charming Morris Townsend (Montgomery Clift) takes an interest in her. Her aunt is in favor of the match, but Dr. Sloper is opposed, believing that Morris couldn't possibly be interested Catherine for herself and must be after her inheritance.Olivia de Havilland's performance won her an Academy Award; the film also took Academy Awards for its costumes, sets, and score (by Aaron Copland).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

The Ghost | |
| The Heiress / int_1ba17583 | comment |
The Ghost: In a sense, Catherine's mother. Though she's already long-dead at the start of the film (making her a Posthumous Character) there is also a small framed photograph of her that many characters pick up and admire. The audience never gets to see it, leaving her physical appearance up to the imagination. The only thing we're told of her appearance is that, unlike Catherine, she was "fair". | |

| The Heiress / int_e52a0409 | comment |
Calling the Old Man Out: As part of her development into a more assertive person, Catherine calls her father to task for his awful treatment of her and then some, even calling him on his bluff to disown her. | |
