I also went to a Big Lebowski fest this year, with tons of people in Lebowski-related outfits, trivia before the movie, a complimentary sarsaparilla, etc. I wore my Little Lebowski Urban Achievers shirt (why wouldn’t I). I gotta say, having seen it at least twice now, the movie very definitely holds up and deserves its cult status.

What exactly do you mean by this question? To me, Becky Clegg, a minor character in The Dreaming Suburb and The Avenue Goes to War, by R F Delderfield, has appeared twice in media – once in the first book and once in the second. Or are you asking if the character has appeared in more than one type of media, like d’Artagnan, who has appeared both in books and in movies?

I’m struggling with how to ask this question. Yossarian and Jay Gatsby appeared once in their respective books, but Gatsby has been referenced (or mentioned) in other books; Danny Lloyd appeared once on screen, but his character appeared again in Doctor Sleep.

What I’m trying to determine is if the character appears in only one book or movie, or if they’re a Harry Potter or Obi-Wan Kenobi type.
