1971 Adaptation[]
Violet is first seen being interviewed in her hometown Miles City, Montana, after she found the third golden ticket. She rudely interrupted her father while he was interviewed, and she explained that she's a gum chewer normally and heard about the tickets. She laid off the gum, switched to candy bars instead, and now she's right back on the gum. She chews gum all day except at mealtimes when she sticks it behind her ear. Her mother scolds her, and she shoots back. She continues explaining her chewing gum, that she's been chewing it for three months solid and it's a world record, the record was beaten by her best friend, Cornelia. She puts the gum back, and her mouth continues chewing after she finished her interview, Slugworth whispers in Violet's ear.
Later outside the chocolate factory Violet and her father are interviewed again, and she stretches the gum, much to her father's annoyance. When Violet introduced herself to Willy Wonka and welcomed her, she asked what kind of gum he has, he replied charmingly. Then they come into the factory; Violet asked her father to get her chocolate her father tells her to take her coat first. Violet is the first to sign the contract, and her father stops her and tells her not to sign anything. Violet signs the contract anyway and gives the pen to Augustus. Wonka pulled a dead-end hallway trick, and it was crammed as they all struggled to get out.
As the group came into the chocolate Violet among Veruca are seen pushing and shoving while walking down the stairs. Violet is enjoying the gum, and Willy Wonka tosses the gummy bears off the tree, then Violet catches one of them. Violet, among the others, realizes the river is chocolate. After Willy Wonka explained about the Oompa Loompas, Veruca whined that she wants an Oompa Loompa, and an annoyed Violet yells at Veruca to can it and calls her a nit.
After Augustus falls in the chocolate river and getting sucked into the pipe, Violet looks on, and she says that he's blocking all the chocolate. After Augustus's demise, they all go on the Wonkatania. When Wonka gives Mrs. Teavee rainbow drops, she tells to suck them and spit them into seven different colors. Violet says spitting's a dirty habit while picking her nose, and he responds that he knows the worst one. As the group goes into the tunnel, Violet gets scared as the boat trip gets scary. Then the boat stopped in front of the Inventing Room, and they were warned by Wonka not to touch anything. When Wonka placed his arm on the pot to test it, he let out a yelp, and Violet asked if it's too hot. He replied that it's far too cold. Veruca thought that Violet got two, and complained that she wanted another one. Violet shots back at her to stop squealing and call her a twit, and they're told by Wonka that everybody has had one and one is enough for everybody.
Then Wonka shows them the gadget and the magic meal course dinner gum. Violet takes the gum. Wonka tried to warn her about it, but she ignored him, and her father tells her not to do anything stupid, and she lets out an exasperated sigh. She had a three-course dinner while chewing the gum; however, the dessert comes up, and her face begins to change to blue, which shocks her father and the others. Wonka says it always goes wrong when it comes to the dessert, then Violet begins to blow up like a blueberry, and her father was furious at Wonka. The Oompa-Loompas rolled Violet to the juicing room after singing their song. Then she wasn't seen again afterward.

Trivia[]
- In the book, she is called Miss Violet Beauregarde and is considered a lady in spite of her bad manners.
- The filmmakers of the 1971 adaptation simulated the blueberry scene by inflating the late Nickerson in a rubber suit and composed her outline in two halves of a styrofoam ball. It took 45 minutes to get her into costume, who was unable to go to lunch during rehearsals; instead, she was rolled around on set every five minutes to keep blood circulating. She recalls that Julie Dawn Cole, who played Veruca, saw her as the "cool American girl", but "she saw her as a big purple ball, who was completely embarrassed".
- In the 2005 film, Violet's father is not seen or mentioned, meaning he died before the events of the movie or her parents are divorced.
