BUD DAVIS (age 70+) – Next-door neighbor to Mrs. Stancliffes’ Rose Cottage Bed & Breakfast; weak, frail looking (the frailer the better), however, over the years, he has become renowned among the female guests as “Bud the Stud”; very elderly, somewhat infirm, chauvinistic, brazen but likeable.
MRS. STANCLIFFE (age 60+) – The owner of Rose Cottage Bed & Breakfast; a severe woman both in dress and manner; pursued by her next door neighbor, Henry; sensible, practical, punctual, business like, menopausal, but finally radiant and sensuous
HENRY MITCHELL (age 60+) – A retired chemist and Mrs. Stancliffe's “Gentleman Caller”; a mild mannered man who has proposed to Mrs. Stancliffe every afternoon for twenty years; has developed Venusia; eventually comes out of his shell.
VICTORIA AMBROSE (age 50+) – A renowned author who writes steamy romantic novels; pines for romance in her personal life, but finds none; readily joins the plot to turn “Bud the Stud” into “Bud the Dud”; pretty, serious, intelligent, menopausal.
HILLARY HUDSON (age 50+) – Beautiful, well educated, articulate, and sophisticated in both manner and dress; old friend and co-worker of Henry’s, who agrees to test the Venusia pills; elegant, charming, menopausal.
CHARMAINE BEAUREGARD (age 50+) – The quintessential Southern belle; definitely here at Rose Cottage for Bud and becomes the leading light in the plot to tame him; voluptuous, outgoing, gushing, demonstrative, menopausal.
