Lydia (the replacement juror) and Lydia Deetz


The replacement juror: "Lydia"... does anyone else think this characters clothing and style is a bit like "Lydia Deetz" from "Beetlejuice". Wonder if that was a nod to anyone who worked on "Beetlejuice", or if im super bored and doing some serious over analyzing??

"In Runaway Jury the goth alternate juror who replaces the alcoholic juror who is dismissed is named Lydia Deets (played by Corri English). This is the name of the goth character Lydia Deetz in Beetle Juice, the teen who communicates with the deceased previous owners of the house" (played by Winona Ryder).

Well check that out. I posted my orig. comment so long ago, im not sure if this bit of trivia was there when i posted it. If it was, shame on me for plagiarizing it without realizing. If it wasnt though, kudos to me for being even the slightest bit receptive to my surroundings. The trivia only makes note of the coincidence though, not weather or not it was done purposefully. Although id hazard a guess it was not done without some sort of realization of what the writers etc.. were doing
