Who She Is in the Movie: The Innocent, Courageous Girl Who Can Do No Wrong Who She Is in Real Life: The Sheltered Friend Who Never Wants to Do Anything Dorothy is a bit spoiled and she is a goody-two-shoes, but it's also important to remember she's a product (movie-wise) of the 1930s. In real life, she'd translate to being that person who never wants to get into trouble, and when she does, she'd be the person that just breaks down and starts to cry. She'd apologize for everything and would have second-thoughts on practically every single plan you and your other friends come up with. No rated "R" movies, no nights on the town, no graffiti being sprayed all over the face of your principal while he sleeps...nothing. She'd be the person you leave at home, who'd call you up four times during the night to check in and see how everyone is doing.
