There’s a lot actually https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ManicPixieDreamGirl
Natalie Portman I think is the most solid example, but there were a lot of shows/movies made with them in the 90’s / early 2000’s.
Zoey Deschanel in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is also a pretty good example.

I saw a tik tok awhile back about how manic pixie dream girls really just come off on screen like women with autism without being intentionally written that way.
I don’t know if it holds for every MPDG trope but it definitely works for Natalie Portman in Garden State.

Bleeps kind of don’t exist anymore (with the internet and streaming). It’s just kind of a joke made for parents.
