Mary Elizabeth Winstead: What Happen to Her Character in Death Proof?
When you look at lists of movie characters who never got closure, Lee Montgomery from Death Proof is often on them. The Quentin Tarantino-directed film introduces us to three “friends,” Abbie (Rosario Dawson), Kim (Tracie Thoms) and Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Lee. They eventually pick up Zoë Bell who wants to test-drive a 1970 Dodge Challenger. The only way they can take the car for a spin unsupervised? If Abbie, Kim and Zöe leave Lee behind with the owner, a creepy stranger.
So that’s what they do -- they leave Lee behind and hit the road in the car where, of course, they have their run-in with Kurt Russell’s Stuntman Mike. While we do get closure for their situation, with the trio beating Mike to death, the movie never returns to Lee who basically vanishes via a pretty gross conversation that she’s not even a part of.
With her new movie Kate due out on Netflix on September 10th, Winstead took the time to join us for her second episode of Collider Ladies Night and during the chat, she addressed Lee's lack of closure in Death Proof.
