Odd Item In Trivia About The Blonde In The T-Bird

Budgetary reasons meant that George Lucas to drop the opening scene, in which the Blonde Angel, Curt's image of the perfect woman, drives through an empty drive-in cinema in her Ford Thunderbird, her transparency revealing she does not exist.

So, originally she was going to be a ghost?

I don't even know enough to know how much I don't know. Ya know?

That would have been interesting and added a surreal element to it. Honestly, though, I like the idea of her being there but being constantly just out of reach so she's ghost-like.

Wow, that is most certainly an interesting idea. I'm content with her character's place in the movie though. And plus, you can't beat the classic opening we got.

I think that would have been a bit too surreal for this movie.

Sounds like fan fiction or Lucas retconning again.
