Exclusive First Look! Peanuts Movie's "The Little Red-Haired Girl"
by GoComicsIn a recent Washington Post article, Peanuts fans learn the story of Donna Johnson Wold, the now-80-year-old woman who once captured the heart of Charles Schulz, serving as the inspiration behind Peanuts' mysterious little red-haired girl.
From the article:
"The Little Red-Haired Girl is that person or concept or fantasy we fixate on, even obsess over, but who resides just beyond our grasp, which is why Schulz forever shielded her face in his strip. Much like the pursued blond woman in George Lucas's "American Graffiti," we know this beauty more by her hair color than her full appearance. There is magic in the silhouette. For the reader to glimpse this girl's smile, to be able to peer into her eyes, would evaporate just a bit of the mystery."
With The Peanuts Movie, hitting theaters this November, the creators have given fans an exclusive look at the little red-haired girl and how she will appear in the upcoming movie.
