Fan Casting Bonnie Plato in Robert Smigel's Green Lantern

Jud's sharp-tongued, perpetually disappointed mother who runs the family pharmacy with her long-suffering husband George. Bonnie openly favors her successful pharmacist son Dan while treating Jud's reality TV career as a personal embarrassment. Her cutting remarks—"Don't do anything crazy, like getting a girl or a real job"—mask a deep, unexpressed love for her wayward son. When Jud finally reveals himself as the Green Lantern, her sudden, tearful embrace reveals the vulnerability beneath decades of criticism. Even after having her memory wiped, she retains a faint, unshakeable pride in the hero she can no longer remember.
