CHARACTER BIOS

E.T.

Accidentally left behind on Earth by his botanist colleagues, this extra-terrestrial befriends Elliott. While living at Elliott’s home and with the help of Elliott and his siblings, E.T. is inspired by a Buck Rogers comic strip to build a makeshift communicator out of household objects and is able to “phone home.”

ELLIOTT

Elliott hears strange noises outside, finds E.T. and, with the help of Reese’s Pieces, leads E.T. to safety in his room. Unbeknownst to Elliott, the young earthling boy has a psychic connection to E.T. and mirrors the extra-terrestrial’s actions and emotions. After the alien says “E.T. phone home” Elliott rides his bike with E.T. to find a safe place to build a communicator and help E.T. call for help.

MICHAEL

GERTIE

Elliott and Michael’s 7-year-old youngest sister, mischievous and sarcastic Gertie is initially terrified of E.T. but soon grows to love the little extra-terrestrial. Before E.T. departs for home, she gives him the small potted chrysanthemums that he had earlier revived.

MARY

Michael, Elliott and Gertie’s harried single mother is at first fearful of E.T. and gets protective of her kids. Mary eventually comes around to trust her children’s instincts and embrace E.T.
