Gonna get spergy and film history in this shit.
Quinn was clearly based on Judy Holliday, who in her time was the archetype of the funny but dumb blond that the everyman could probably sleep with. In real life she was very smart and much funnier than they ever let her be on film. But the character Quinn embodies is the character Holliday portrayed, that of an dimwitted doofus you could fool and fuck.
Tell me if this scene doesn't look and sound like every single appearance in the cartoon?

Anyway bri-bri, gotta brush up on your feminist history, Holliday is a huge part of the growth of women in media, and a sad story that would be (if you're actually looking to make a real point and not just grand stand) a great thing to link to Margo Robbie-- who is in a sense portraying Holliday. There's an trickle down influence thing going on here that when dissected would tell an interesting story.
EDIT: I didn't even get to her rumored lesbian relationships or her communist sympathies and how the studio dealt with it.
But fuck it, "ass cracks" are more interesting right? That's all you care about.
Isn't the main character in Revolution 60 a blonde named Holliday?
