Did You Have A "Role Model"?

[vikki2020]

So, I'm watching some old time TV the other nite,--"Get Smart"--and I remember that back then, I wanted to look like Agent 99--Barbara Feldon. {in fact, I still wish I could look like her!} I also thought "That Girl"-- Marlo Thomas-- was a good look.Who did you want to be when you grew up??

[Bethany_Anne_Fae]

Being a child of the Eighties, Elizabeth Daily(E.G. Daily)

"Mind over Matter" ;)

Beautiful woman and singer.

Mine was Danielle Dax, they look very similar ;)

[barbara blue]

I will have to go with Marlo Thomas, that girl.

Oh, and Karen Hutton! :-)

[Lissa Stevens]

I have to agree with TXKIMBERLY and her first choice. I wanted to look like Elizabeth Montgomery in the worst way.

Ahh this is a easy one LOL, first was Karen Valentine, (Love American Style regular) and my long time favorite Goldi Hawn

[caryn m]

[Mary Morgan]

Maureen O'Hara was my favorite, then Loretta Young. They were/are so very feminine.

[Nikki A.]

emma peel was sooo cool

[Nicole Erin]

I don't think I really ever had one.
Plenty of girls I liked on TV or whatever but never a role model.

[Joy Carter]

<---------------My avatar, Rosemary Clooney. Circa 1955 :love: I was five.

[charlie]

As a high schooler I loved Farah Fawct. Also, Raquel Welsh. I'm afraid that I look like the maid on the Brady Bunch though!

[ColleenCD]

So many heroines to choose from, but a young Farrah Fawcett was so confident and pretty.

I'm a dorkette, so I'm going to say Jodie Foster, who caught my eye as a kid, and I think I vaguely resemble...

See...

Linda Carter as Wonder Woman
Kandis:love:

Roberta named Diana Riggs first! Couldn't argue with that choice, until Linda Carter, (who had that UNBELIEVABLE figure), came along! What about the movie stars?
Marilyn, Natalie Wood, Sophia, Holly Golitely, about 100 others.
My latest is Amy Adams. Star of " Enchanted".
RS

[Vickifur]

Oh so many to choose from. When I was a teen in the 60's, I loved Eva Gabor in Green Acres. It was a popular show at the time, but I loved everything Eva!

In the big hair 80's it was Stephanie Beacham as Sable Colby.

Role models? I don't know, but I love how they look!

[ericalynncd]

Ahhh.. Barbra Eden and Julie Newmar.. both sexy..

[Kathy Renee]

As others have said.....Emma Peel with out a doubt.

[chrissietoo]

Diana Rigg, I love her attitude...(and her flip)

Jodi Foster is a close second, equally intrepid, and gender bending, too!




Record Breaker Bonds Admits He Took Steroids to Impress Jodie Foster
Slugger Thought She’d Dig It



http://www.sportsmansdaily.com/images/Jodie_Foster.jpg
“Two” is the number of Barry Bonds’ balls
Jodie Foster says she’d kick if he gets near her.
“I’m not impressed,” said Foster in a prepared statement.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (Sportsman’s Daily Wire Service) – Now that the greatest record in sports has been broken, tormented slugger Barry Bonds has finally come clean. The San Francisco Giants leftfielder slugged homerun number 756 on August 7, 2007 and admitted that he did in fact take steroids.

“Most people have heard the story that Barry took steroids to develop more power at the plate because he was insanely jealous of Mark McGwire’s success, but that just isn’t true,” said former BALCO employee Brent Dalton. “The truth is he did it to impress Jodie Foster.”

[SandyR]

When I was a kid I used to put a towl on my back, and play "underdog". Of course, I was always looking at the heels polly was wearing...

If I entered a Jodie Foster "Look-a-Like" contest, do you think I'd come in Third Place?

It seemed like I'd a favorite to my list every 6 months are so. Many of the ones already mentioned come to mind. I loved Ann-Margaret the most though. Maybe lust was a better word.

[Celeste]

Not from my era,but I really admired Jenifer Jones,especially in the movie "Song of Bernadette".

[Brenda's Friend]

Of course Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo, played by Diana Rigg, was the only woman James Bond truly loved.

[JoAnnDallas]

Lets us not forget "Lucy Lawless".

[sybercom11]

Here's another vote for Elizabeth Montgomery! And also any of the girls on Petticoat Junction:

"Lots of curves you bet, even more when you get, to the Junction, Petticoat Junction"

Oh my! It was Doris Day. She had the most beautiful legs, could dance, sing and was a great actress. She looked great in those full 50s skirts. I guess I am getting a little long in the tooth huh!

of course Bond fell in love......

Alexandra Bastedo who played Sharron Macready in The Champions I used to dream that one morning i,d wake up and look exactly like her 58415

They are all men and you can't tell..

[sterling12]

I had lots of "Role models" growing up. I think I always identified with glamorous women and it seemed that I was always finding someone to admire.

But, you all wanted specifics. I can name three that really stick in my mind from The 50's and 60's. I was listening to a talk show the other day, and a lot of males who grew up in The 50's really thought of Donna Reed as a beautiful woman. She had a very trim waist and went out of her way to find dresses that emphasized it. Voluptuous...can't beat Gina Lollabrigida. My Gawd, what a woman! Too bad "curvy" like that, is no longer in style. And, a very young Bridgette Bardot. Is there any male or CD who ever saw her that didn't find her attractive?

All of these ladies were my role models. Young Joanie would have killed to be able to look like them. (Well, maybe not "killed." Let's just say they had looks to die for.) Today's "stick insects" or "buffed out," do not impress me!

Peace and Love, Joanie

[Annette_boy]

Lets see My namesake Annette so hot in the mouse ears and Barbra Eden yes but also Dale Evans when we played cowboys I secretly pretended I was her
Hugs and Kisses
Annette

[kristinacd55]

Barbara Eden, Elizabeth Montgomery, Emma Peel! All fabulous-
I love Grace Kelly & her gorgeous outfits in Rear Window-especially the first dress she wears, Oh my!

[Alex!]

I don't have any role models, I'm sorry to say. But there are many, many people I admire for this or that trait.

I suppose when coming up with my Andrea persona, I found inspiration in Mira Sorvino, who is a smart, grounded woman who looks damn good to boot.

I had a thing for awhile for Agent Scully, even though she was a fictional character. I liked the whole doctor-agent-stylish-cute thing.

I was really taken by Margaret Colin in the film Independence Day. I know that's obscure, but there it is.

I've been told on several occasions that I look like Victoria Beckham, but I must emphatically say I do not admire her at all. She's attractive, but that whole celebrity worship thing turns me off, not to mention she has done little to deserve the attention.

I really like several French actresses, because they exude femininity and confidence in a unique way that I find very attractive, especially Audrey Tautou and Sophie Marceau. Mon dieu...

I also think Grace Kelly was perhaps among the most beautiful women I've ever seen.

[caryn m]

how about the opera singer sarah brightman totally beautiful full figured woman of my dreams caryn

[Lovely Rita]

Jaclyn Smith, definitely

[Megan70]

Peggy Flemming, the olympic Skater of the sixties, and of course Julie Christie from Dr. Zhivago with that famous pouty lip.

[chrissietoo]

Lets see also Dale Evans when we played cowboys I secretly pretended I was her
Hugs and Kisses
Annette

gosh, so did I!!:yippee::yippee:

[vikki2020]

I'll second the Peggy Flemming, Megan!I was going to mention her also, but I didn't want to "take" all the good ones:heehee:She still looks fantastic,too!I think the common thread with all our choices, besides looking great,they all got to wear great outfits on their shows.Lots of votes for the 60's "mini"--my fave!

[Melissa Pink]

My contemporary "role model" is Danica Patrick. To me, Danica is everything a woman should be; intelligent, athletic, courageous, beautiful and witty. As a race car driver she excels in one of the most demanding sports in the world and stands up for herself in the face of anyone that tries to intimidate her. Like me I think she is something of a "tom boy" who doesn't mind getting her hands dirty, performing her craft but she also cleans up very nicely.

Cheers Danica :drink:

[Colleentg]

I wouldn't consider stars as role models, even though I envied what many of them wore. If I did have to pick one, I'd say Susan Dey, from the days of The Partridge Family, or Kristy McNichol from the show 'Family'. I had two close role models, my sister and my (female) cousin. I wanted to be just like either one.

[Dawn Marie]

Mine would be Ann Margaret, she has the best looking legs and a great shape.
And I just love the red hair.

[charllote34]

My role model was Dirty Harry!! dosent take any S**t !!!!
