Edna
Background
Edna is a swinging 70's display actor for the Statemuseum of Nature. She is married to George.
During the events of Z.P.G. (1972) played by Diane Cilento
George and Edna sit in the living room of their mock home along with Russ and Carol as they enact swinging couples. The crowd claps and 1st Guide tells the crowd that it is the last show from the 1970's for the day. Edna tells a Psychiatrist that the mechanical doll can't love her and the Psychiatrist insists the mechanical doll loves her and needs her. She finally picks up her mechanical baby, Peter and hugs him. Russ tells George and Edna that Carol left him and after Carol sends George home, she comes over and kisses Russ and the museum crowd claps. Carol takes Jesse out in a stroller and is stopped by Edna who welcomes her back. As Carol is walking away, Jesse starts to cry and Edna notices the difference between the way Jesse sounds and the mechanical children. Carol comes home and finds Edna in her house sitting next to both her and Carol's mechanical children. Edna says she won't tell anyone and asks to touch Jesse. Later both Edna and George stop by and tell Russ and Carol that they want to help take care of Jesse. Carol at first refuses to let them hold Jesse, but Russ tells her to let them. As time goes on, Edna and George push the boundaries and at one point Edna calls Jesse "our" baby to Carol. One day Carol finds Edna with Jesse in Edna and George's house. Eventually George and Edna demand to keep Jesse every other day. At one point, George tells Russ that he and Edna are keeping Jesse and Russ and Carol will only have one more day with him. When Edna and George come to retrieve Jesse, Russ and Carol refuse to give him to them. Edna grabs the mechanical child and smashes it into the ground and yells they need to destroy all of the mechanical children. Edna and George run into the streets yelling baby and a crowd gathers. Guards break into the house and take, Russ, Carol and Jesse away to the extermination center. A clear dome is placed over them as they are prepared for suffocation that will begin in 12 hours. George and Edna stare inside the pod as guards spray it with red spray paint. Edna then wanders around in a daze.
