“BUTTERCUP is in her late teens; doesn’t care much
about clothes and she hates brushing her long hair, so she isn’t as attractive
as she might be, but she’s still probably the most beautiful woman in the
world.”—William Goldman’s screenplay for the 1987 film comedy The
Princess Bride, describing Princess Buttercup (played by Robin Penn), quoted in Kyle Buchanan and Jordan
Crucchiola, “Creation Stories,” New York Magazine, April 16-29, 2019
This post is dedicated to a friend of mine—AND HE
KNOWS WHO HE IS!!!!—who, I am certain, is quite a fan of this character
and the actress who plays her.
