Veruca Salt is a character from the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, written by Roald Dahl. She appears in the two film adaptations, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In the 1971 adaptation, she is portrayed by Julie Dawn Cole, and in the 2005 adaptation, she is portrayed by Julia Winter. Veruca is the only child of the wealthy couple, Henry Salt and Angina Salt (a geography teacher in the revised book only, and named Henrietta the 1971 film), and is a terribly spoiled brat.
In all three versions, Mr. Salt owns a nut business. When Veruca announced she wanted a Golden Ticket, her father bought thousands of Wonka Bars, and made his factory workers open them. As three days passed, Veruca spent all of them kicking her legs about, while she screamed about how she wanted her Golden Ticket. Finally, a staff member found the ticket, and, as Veruca's father describes it in the book, she is "all smiles again."
