![]() The 2005 film puts a different spin on the character. In the sixth novel, And Another Thing., she pursues a relationship with Wowbagger, the Infinitely Prolonged she accuses Arthur of carrying a torch for her as well. They seem to travel away from each other after the third book, although in the fourth one Arthur states Trillian is with Zaphod, and in the fifth Trillian implies that she hadn't had a child with Zaphod simply because they're different species. It is unclear for how long (if ever) Trillian had a relationship with Zaphod. ![]() In the fifth book, Trillian is revealed as the mother of Random Dent. In the novels and radio series, Trillian does not have a romantic relationship with Arthur (although when Arthur starts seeing Fenchurch, Ford Prefect asks him what happened to Trillian). An interview with actress Zooey Deschanel, included on the DVD version, has her mention that Trillian is half-human, suggesting the interview was recorded prior to the change of plan. This idea was scrapped after the "making of" book was written, and the scene revealing Trillian's heritage (by the mice, to Arthur, on the Earth Mark II) was re-written. This would have been done in order to underline the loneliness of Arthur Dent, the only 100% Homo sapiens remaining in the universe, after Earth's demolition.

In the radio series, she is carried off and forcibly married to the President of the Algolian Chapter of the Galactic Rotary Club and consequently does not appear in the second radio series at all. The trilogy later reveals that Trillian eventually left the party with Zaphod Beeblebrox, who, according to the Quintessential Phase, is directly responsible for her nickname. ![]() She and Arthur next meet six months later on the spaceship Heart of Gold, shortly after the Earth has been destroyed to make way for a hyperspace bypass.

However, when Douglas Adams saw Dickinson perform during a screen test, he liked it so much he asked her to use her American accent.ĭickinson was married to Peter Davison from 1978 until 1994, and they briefly appeared together in the Hitchhiker's TV series. She usually portrayed characters who fell into the trope of "dumb blondes", whereas Trillian in the book was described as dark and intelligent.
