Wright Penn has been in the public consciousness for more than 20 years (Buttercup!), but she herself has been something of an enigma. She seemed, at times, hardly to want to be an actress, letting her private life lead the way while she clutched her potential close to her chest. Pippa should be a career changer. Wright Penn's cards are finally on the table...

She's lonely on top, flirting with potential mates but searching for a mother. In this sense she is a big sullen sister to Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, the Powerpuff Girls. They too are the spawn of a biological experiment. (They also levitate, like the Tiger women.) And though the show is perky, and its pace frenetic, the Girls carry the burden of others' expectation.
