I'm not sure, but movies are usally worse than the books, most of the time because they condense it and cut parts out of the book, so to make the movie not a hundred hours long, I guess they had to cut her out!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

She simply wasn't important enough to the entire story!.

The character represents "genteel" old school Southern bigotry--disliking people of color but being polite about it, so to speak, instead of being quite obviously a bigot, like Bob Ewell!.

Alexandra was just not important to the overall plot of the film, what with the trial and everything else that goes on!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's been some years since I read the book and watched the movie for school, but screenwriters leave out minor characters all the time for length!. Or they change things such as creating a whole new character they based on two or more other characters from the original!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I thought she was!.!.
I thought I remembered watching her ask Scout if she was ok after that guy attacked Scout and Jem!.!.!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
