what was thrown off the bridge in ode to billy joe?
ragdoll
the song's popularity proved so enduring that in 1976, nine years after its release, warner bros. commissioned author herman raucher to expand and adapt the story as a novel and screenplay, "ode to billy joe". the poster's tagline, which treats the film as being based on a true story and gives a date of death for billy (june 3, 1953), led many to believe that the song was based on actual events. in raucher's novel and screenplay, billy joe kills himself after a drunken homosexual experience, and the object thrown from the bridge is the narrator's ragdoll. the film was released in 1976, directed and produced by max baer, jr, and starring robby benson and glynnis o'connor. only the first, second, and fifth verses were sung by bobbie gentry in the film, omitting the third and fourth verses.
