Tracy Lord (20s) -- Daughter of the wealthy Philadelphia
Lord family. Formerly married (briefly) to Dexter. Beautiful,
willful, with a strong sense of what one should and shouldn't do.
C.K. Dexter Haven (30ish) -- Wealthy Philadelphian.
Charming, roughish, and a bit too fond of the good things in
life.
George Kittredge (mid-30s) -- Self-made man, former
football player. Upstanding, handsome, and a bit of a stick in the
mud. Engaged to Tracy.
Dinah Lord (15) -- Tracy's sister. Very honest, nosy, and
her own person.
Sandy Lord (30ish) -- Tracy's brother. A wheeler-dealer who
tries to save the family from scandal.
Margaret Lord (50ish) -- Mother of the family. Sylish and
very together. Much more forgiving than Tracy. Estranged from
husband.
Seth Lord (50ish) -- Father of the family. Handsome,
worldly, whose indiscretions are bringing scandal to
Philadelphia.
Uncle Willie Tracy (60s) -- Margaret's uncle. Speaks his
mind. Very fond of the family, good cigars, and good drink (not
necessarily in that order).
Macaulay "Mike" Connor (30s) -- A writer of fiction, working as a
reporter for Destiny magazine. Good looking in a very approachable
way. Prejudiced against the upper class and everything "Philadelphia"
stands for.
Liz Imbrie (30s) -- An artist making her living as a
photographer for Destiny. Is in love with Mike, although Mike doesn't
know it. She is attractive and edgy. Gets by in a man's world on her
wit.
A servant, Thomas.
Mac, the night watchman.
