The First Lady

The First Lady is the President's wife and is also Patricia's mother. In the film, she is at a job in Los Angeles. In The White House at the start, she talks to her daughter on the phone. Her daughter misses her mother. The President later speaks to The First Lady in the movie before the destruction to say to evacuate from Los Angeles and go to Area 51, where she would meet the people from The White House there. After the President evacuates from The White House, in the Parliament House in LA, The First Lady is seen finishing packing up. She is taken to the roof where she gets onto the helicopter. She sees the people on the roof protesting. She is at first distracted but is yelled at. Unfortunately, the helicopter is faulty at taking off and it crashes in the alien attack and is destroyed along with the Parliament House. The First Lady is found by Jasmine, injured and is taken to hospital. After witnessing an alien attack in Area 51, the President and Patricia go by themselves to say goodbye to The First Lady. She has internal bleeding and wasn't going to make it. She cuddles Patricia, who is taken out of the room by a nurse. She cries as she has a final hug with the President. When the President emerges from the room, Patricia asks if her mummy is sleeping now. The President says that his wife is sleeping now and he cries with Patricia. This obviously means that The First Lady has died, and to make it sound more softer, the President has told Patricia on the way to the hospital that his mummy was going to go to sleep forever! In the film, The First Lady is played by Mary McDonell.
