Exploring The Character 'Betty In The Film The Girl'

she is. Betty is adamant about helping her new friend. All Rita remembers is the accident and the street named Mulholland Drive. I believe that the mystery is a MacGuffin for first time viewers. It is meant to push our view away from the truth, sort of like a magician. So, as I’ve said, the fugitive with no name pretends to be Rita Hayworth.
