10 Movie Characters Who Actually Knew When To Quit
10. Flowerchild - Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
In Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - Quentin Tarantino's deliciously revisionist take on the Tate-LaBianca murders - Maya Hawke plays a member of the Manson Family named "Flowerchild."
She's based on actual Manson Family member Linda Kasabian, who didn't directly participate in the murders and ultimately testified against those who did, in turn receiving immunity from prosecution.
And in the movie's third act, when the Family have an altercation with Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and decide to kill him instead of Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie), Flowerchild makes the very wise decision to nope out of the whole situation.
She tells fellow Family member Tex (Austin Butler) that she left her knife in their car, and when Tex throws her the keys to unlock it, she decides to straight-up drive off, leaving the three remaining assailants without transportation.
Not that it matters, given that they're all brutally murdered by Rick and Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) in the moments that follow, so Flowerchild was smart to follow her gut on this one.
