2005 film[]

Mrs. Salt is not given a first name in the movie. She is from Buckinghamshare in England. She drinks martinis in place of reacting to her daughter's bratty and demanding behavior, which she makes her husband deal with. In a deleted "Veruca's intervieew" scene filmed for the movie, she is the one that accompanied her daughter to the factory rather than her husband.

She's a good person at heart. She is a wealthy person who donates money to poor people and saves their lives, who is around 40 years old.[citation needed]
