Background
In the novel Sharon comes from Oregon, is in her mid-twenties, studied Russian in college and has worked for Chris for three years; because her mother ran a nursing home she knows how to give injections and teaches Chris how. She teaches Regan the basic ideas of Christianity without Chris's approval. She leaves Regan alone with Burke Dennings to fetch the medicine a doctor prescribed, and Dennings dies that night. In the film it is Sharon who calls Father Karras to the house when the words 'help me' appear on Regan's stomach. In Exorcist II, four years later, she is Regan's guardian in New York and gives Father Lamont a tour of the Georgetown house.
