The women that picks up "Chancy Gardener" was Shirley Maclane. She was the wife of a senator who was on his last legs and therefore had a resident doctor.

Shirleys husband in "Being there" was NOT a senator, but rather the head of a large multinational economic organization. That is what made him important. If you have not read the book by Jerzy Kosinski, do your self a favor and READ IT. It is very well done, and shows you some of the things that Kosinski wanted you to know about Chancy Gardner.
