Trivia[]

  • Her maiden name is Montgomery.[4]
  • Tracy incorporated some Persian and Angora into Mitzi's tail[5], while other aspects of her design draw inspiration from Clara Bow and Nancy Carroll.[6]
  • Regarding her appearance, Tracy has noted that, "Mitzi usually dresses in peacock colors - purples and emerald, regal and vain - though whether or not she's just wearing them with wistful irony is up for debate".[6]
  • Mitzi, "has a bit of morbid fascination for the obituaries column, would almost certainly enjoy historical fiction, and perhaps a little D.H. Lawrence (although she probably can't see what all the fuss is about)".[6]
  • Mitzi's interests include both trashy novels and murder mysteries and Edgar Allen Poe's works. According to Tracy, she would have loved Edward Gorey.[7]
  • With regards to Mitzi's voice, Tracy stated that it would be, "A lyrical voice with a distinctly southern accent. Her manner of delivery varies between sad resignation (which contradicts her every action), and condescension that might come across as insulting if it weren't so slathered in honey".[8]
  • According to Tracy, Mitzi did not complete her primary education. Mitzi would have voted for Herbert Hoover, the Republican candidate, in the 1928 presidential election due to his support for Prohibition.[9]
