Pleurisy in Election Day

Bio[]

Pleurisy is the baby sister of Farina Hoskins. While staying with her Uncle Tom, she is taken away by the county and placed in the Happyland Home Orphanage where she is rescued. She also replaces Ernie in helping Farina deliver the laundry her mother takes in, but on Election Day, she and Farina have a lot of trouble doing their chores due to Joe Cobb and Jay R. Smith not letting them leave the area before an election they are running in is over. When Pleurisy and Farina do get through, they run into a shootout involving members of the Pool Room Party of Greenpoint.

Two child actresses played this role. The first was a baby in Bring Home The Turkey and is unknown. The second, who appeared in The Spanking Age and Election Day and was far too old to be the same actress as the first, was identified in 2020 as Paralee Coleman, who appeared in several more films as a child.
