About Wendy Torrance
Wendy Torrance is married to Jack Torrance, played by Jack Nicholson, and they have a son named Danny. She wouldn’t be one of Stephen King’s characters without having mental issues of her own.

When Wendy, Jack, and Danny move to the Overlook Hotel for a fresh start, Wendy is excited and thinks it will be a wonderful experience for them as a family. She quickly learns otherwise whenever her husband appears to be losing his sanity and Danny begins to have more and more psychotic spells. Wendy must protect herself and her son from her deranged husband and find a way to escape this wicked hotel!
