Dylan Sanders is a fictional private investigator portrayed by Drew Barrymore in the films Charlie's Angels and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. Although this is not verified, she is the only Angel to have seen Charlie's face, as she is the only one of the three to turn around at the beach where Charlie is standing behind them.

Background

Dylan Sanders is auburn-haired, green-eyed woman, during her childhood she was fearless and street-smart. She has lost her mother at age 6, also she has never met her father. Dylan's teenage years were unuasully rebelious who graduated with non-optimal grades. After that, she did a Kerouac and gained experiance about life, while on the road. She had a very brief stint at her local Police Academy, due to assault charges filed for punching out a discipline-happy police sergeant. Since then, Dylan has whiled away her days at odd jobs: bartender, yoga instructor, field guide, rodeo entertainer, and may have done other jobs. Dylan has had a history of boyfriends whom have been negative influence.

She has been described in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle "always finds the good in people". We learned in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle that she is in the Witness Protection Program for witnessing a murder committed by her boyfriend, who was a member of the fictional famous O'Grady Crime Clan. Her former name was Helen Zaas before she testified against him.

Dylan in her later ages was can be described as impetuous and has a bad temper, she has shown an exterime determination. She shown in Charlie's Angels how she took out a whole roomful of goons with her hands literally tied behind her back. She has shown that she is the most affectionate amongst her fellow angels Natalie and Alex. In Charlie's angels, this is evident when she tells the bad guy Eric Knox "If you hadn't tried to kill all the people I love, we still had a chance." Also, she cannot hold back her tears when Eric (whose was tring to kill Charlie) traces him down through his voice detection software in the first film.

Her bohemian L.A. pad is complete with lava lamps, incense burners, and a less-than-tidy walk-in closet on Melrose Avenue. She drives an orange-and-white 1969 Camaro convertible^[1], license plate number 716-EKL. WORDS TO LIVE BY: “Don’t let your past hold you back.”

Fashion

Dylan Sanders, the most rebellious Angel, was dressed in flowery vintage clothing. This style was what Drew would wear normally in her daily life and the film designer just wanted to bring her out with this style more. In the first scene of the movie she had on a red long top with a designed belt over the waist line. She was purposely put in red in this scene to let the audience know to pay attention to her and had the all Mongolian extras wear or everyone else wear the same old brown clothing. Addition to that she had on some tight pant that is half way covered with a high platform Eskimo shoe. And on top of those she is wearing a Mao cap, a cap that was named after a communist Chinese leader Mao Tse-Tung. The Mao cap caught John Lennon's and Bob Dylan's eyes and made it an anti-war fashion icon in the 1960s.

Covers and techniques

Dylan is extremely proficient in kung fu and several other martial arts, as are fellow Angels Natalie and Alex. She is a master in disguise and she never uses guns. She is also, in the words of her fellow agent, Alex Munday a scrabble freak and is good at finding hidden meanings within words.
