Tropes associated with Collin Wilcox:
- Actor/Role Confusion: When Wilcox got involved with the Civil Rights movement she got side-eyes from some other participants for having played one of the Ewell clan in To Kill a Mockingbird.
- Tomboyish Name: Both her first and middle names are more frequently given to boys.
