![]() Police Chief Bill Willoughby (Woody Harrelson), one of the film’s very few sympathetic characters, has terminal pancreatic cancer. This unsolved crime prompts the grieving mother to pay for three previously vacant billboards containing the following messages, “RAPED WHILE DYING,” “AND STILL NO ARRESTS,” “HOW COME CHIEF WILLOUGHBY?” purchased from Red Welby’s (Caleb Landry Jones) advertising company. As one of a gaggle of Oscar-nominated films, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is the creation of writer/director Martin McDonagh who had Golden Globe and Academy Award winner Frances McDormand in mind when he created the lead role of Mildred Hayes, a middle-aged divorcee who owns a small gift shop and whose only daughter Angela (Kathryn Newton) was brutally raped and murdered eight months earlier.
