Dye or Die: After seeing a corpse in the bed which she believes to be her own, Rita decides to cut her hair short in an attempt to avoid being recognized.Color-Coded Characters: Rita usually wears red and black.Censor Shadow: In the bedroom, when Rita disrobes, we see little more than just her silhouette against the light coming in through the window.However, Rita's real name and specific identity are never revealed and her connections to the film industry like all the other plots in the dream world eventually come to an end without a satisfying conclusion. Aborted Arc: The mafia tried to kill her in the beginning of the film because she was an actress and was presumably a threat to the mafia's plans regarding Adam's film.Also a doppelganger of the real Camilla Rhodes. Nice Girl: Never has a bad word to say about anybody.Īn amnesiac woman who was the target of a failed assassination.Fanservice: Despite being very wholesome and proper, she`s got a sexy side that comes out during her audition and later that night when she has sex with Rita. Lipstick Lesbian: Looks very dainty and feminine in a 1950s sense, but is in love with Rita.Hidden Depths: Betty seems like a rather naive and idealistic young woman, but in her audition scene she accesses a part of herself that we've never seen before and never see again.Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She's as radiant in looks as she is in personality.Like Cooper, she is an idealistic outsider with an interest in solving mysteries. She is also similar to Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks.This is far from a coincidence since Mulholland Drive was originally meant to be a Twin Peaks Spin-Off with Audrey Horne as the main protagonist. Betty's personality resembles that of Audrey Horne from Twin Peaks as like Audrey, Betty is driven by infatuation and a sense of adventure despite her naivete.Her curious persona has been compared to Nancy Drew. Amateur Sleuth: Tries to solve the mystery of Rita's amnesia by sneaking into other people's homes.And in her fantasy she didn't miss out on that part because she wasn't good enough, she lost the part because the Mafia made Adam Kesher cast someone else. In her fantasy, she wins the love of "Rita" instead of getting dumped. Diane imagines/dreams that she is Betty, a talented actress who knocks everybody's socks off at the audition.
She didn't get a part in The Sylvia North Story because the director didn't like her.
