Hot Shots of the Week: Gotham City’s Ice Princess

“The tree lights up, and then I push the button. No-no, wait, wait, wait, wait. I press the button and *then* the tree lights up…”

It wouldn’t be the holidays without the delightfully ditzy Ice Princess from Batman Returns (1992)—played brilliantly by Cristi Conaway—lighting up Gotham City’s Christmas tree.

As cinematic dumb blondes go, she’s a favorite of ours. Too bad she plummeted to her death form a tall building. But hey, she landed on the button, which lit up that goddamn tree! She had one job, and she did it perfectly.
