Olivia Foxworth is Corinne Foxworth Winslow's mother. Olivia was the grandmother who locked the Dollanganger children in the attic and starved them for two weeks after she caught Christopher staring at Catherine's naked body. When Catherine learns of the grandmother's debilitating stroke that has left her bedridden, she breaks into Foxworth Hall to exact revenge on the old woman. Catherine hits the old woman with a switch and pours hot wax in her hair. However, Catherine does not feel the sense of satisfaction she thought she would in dolling out these punishments, so she stops before she has completed the punishment.
