Actress Zooey Deschanel has had roles in a number of films and television projects that some dubbed examples of the manic pixie dream girl stock character trend first labeled in 2005. But now, she says she rejects the label for her roles.
In a new interview with The Guardian published today, the 42-year-old talks about her new album covering Beach Boys songs and says the term coined by film critic Nathan Rabin does not describe her. Rabin said at the time, these characters are eccentric, unabashedly feminine, and often only exist to motivate a male protagonist. But Deschanel is not having this and says today, these kinds of characters can be well-rounded, and the key to seeing this is in making sure they are on screen for a while.
