In 'Beetlejuice', what is the name of the teenage daughter?
Answer
Lydia Deetz
Answer
Lydia Deetz
In “Beetlejuice,” the teenage daughter is Lydia Deetz, played by Winona Ryder.
Lydia lives with her father Charles Deetz and stepmother Delia after the family moves into the home formerly occupied by the ghosts Adam and Barbara Maitland. Unlike the adults around her, Lydia can see the Maitlands, and her fascination with the supernatural makes her an important link between the living family and the dead couple.
Released on March 30, 1988, “Beetlejuice” was directed by Tim Burton. The film blends gothic comedy, horror, stop-motion-inspired effects, eccentric production design, and music associated with Harry Belafonte’s calypso recordings. Michael Keaton plays the title character, a mischievous “bio-exorcist.”
A frequent mistake is choosing Delia Deetz, Lydia’s stepmother, rather than Lydia herself. The character’s dark clothing and goth-inspired persona also became one of the film’s most recognizable visual elements.
