Companion

Character Role Analysis

Private Hollister

Everybody needs a pal, and for Jamie, that's Hollister. This slick pair plays more games of gin rummy than anything else, always chatting while they do, and Hollister becomes a real friend to Jamie in the process. He even comes over to keep her company after hearing the bad news about her brother. She's a good buddy to him, too, putting in a good word for him with her dad so he doesn't get shipped off to Vietnam. It turns out both Jamie and Hollister need a companion every once in a while.
