Ruth Whitefeather Feldman

Ruth Whitefeather Feldman is a main character on Disjointed played by Academy, Emmy, SAG, Critic's Choice, and Golden Globe award-winning actress Kathy Bates.

Biography
Ruth has been a cannabis fanatic since the 60's, and most of her career has revolved around the plant. She is a registered lawyer with the California Bar Association. She has several friends from her cannabis-activist days, such as Scooter Boots and the late Jack Heron.

Ruth has always shown her son Travis "tough love" since he was very young, which he often misinterprets as dislike and disinterest in the present. She has been incarcerated several times throughout her life due to the nature of her activism. Once she was incarcerated for four and a half years, and during this time young Travis lived with his father, apparently "one of her biggest regrets." Despite not always being there for Travis, she loves him nonetheless, and in Part 1, Episode 6, "Donna Weed," she apparently "loves him more than pot."
