Laura Lizzie is a minor villainess in the 1996 supernatural movie The Craft. Laura is the typical "racist White girl" who victimizes her African-American classmate Rochelle Gorden and exhibits contempt for Sarah Bailey. After she pushes Rochelle too far, Rochelle causes her to gradually go bald to make her pay for her racist remarks.
She was portrayed by Christine Taylor.
Biography
Sarah Bailey, a troubled teenager, has just moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles with her father and stepmother. At her new school, she forms a friendship with a group of girls rumored to be witches, Nancy, Bonnie and Rochelle. At the same time, Sarah becomes attracted to the popular Chris.
Sarah exhibits supernatural powers from the onset of the film, and her new friends believe that she will complete their coven, making them all powerful. When Sarah is harassed by a vagrant with a snake (whom she had encountered before in her new house), he is immediately hit by a car and the girls believe that together they willed it to happen.
After a date with Chris, Sarah is upset to find that he has spread the false rumor that they have had sex, and now treats her disrespectfully. In response, Sarah casts a love spell upon him, while Rochelle casts a revenge spell on a hateful racist bully Laura Lizzie, Bonnie casts a spell for beauty, and Nancy for power. It very soon becomes clear that the spells have been successful: Chris becomes infatuated with Sarah, scars that Bonnie has on her back miraculously heal, and Rochelle's bully Laura begins to lose her hair. Nancy goes further by causing her abusive stepfather to have a heart attack and die.
Nancy becomes greedy for power and encourages the others to join her in a rite called "invoking the spirit". On completion of the spell, she is seen to be struck by lightning, and afterwards lacks empathy and begins taking risks with her life and those of others.
The spells that the girls have cast soon begin to show negative outcomes; Bonnie becomes more conceited each day; Rochelle feels remorse as her bully Laura Lizzie is seen bald and hysterically sobbing.
Laura Lizzie was last at the party where Chris later died at Nancy's hands, appeared with a blond wig and being completely remorseful towards Rochelle for mistreating and bullying her.
Personality
Laura is very cruel and self-centered, not really caring about the feelings of others. She is beautiful and obviously comes from a wealthy family. When Rochelle's spell made her hair fall out, she began to break down and freak out at times. Eventually, she began to be nicer to Rochelle. This caused Rochelle to feel extreme guilt about casting the spell.
