Alabama Whitman may be crazy, but shes in love. And when push comes to shove, in the end, shes the last (wo)man left standing. She can fire a gun like no one, and can drive a 1974 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado like no one else And even before The Bride, she was a sign that Quentin Tarantino could do strong female characters Imagine that: Quentin Tarantinos knack for dialogue, strong female, and action sense, coupled with the director that created Charlie Blackwood and Dr. Claire Lewicki. Alabama was a star-making role (another one!) for Patricia Arquette, and it created a memorable character that had humor, wit, enthusiasm, but most of all a thirst for life, fun, and guns!
