what famous female would you have liked to have been past and present ?

[shirley1]

theres been a lot of threads i've picked up on that say they like to dress in 1950s style clothes - i agree but who would you have liked to have been or looked like - from the 50s i would go for grace kelly - in the film "rear window" i think she looked great showing off her new outfit a full white skirt to james stewart - i was a teenager of the 80s and i adored madonna - i both fancied her and wished i was her - in the videos to material girl and like a virgin especially ! these days there are so many ggs i like and would wish to look like or even be !

[jennifer41356]

Diana Rigg...the famous Mrs Peel

Gillian Anderson....Scully of the X files

two of the strongest female roles ever on TV:2c:
:love:

[KathrynTX]

Past - Marilyn Monroe :love:

Present - Zooey Deschanel :love:

[Megan70]

Peggy Flemming

[bianncats]

Audrey Hepburn



present too many to list

[danam]

Evita.

I saw the movie and the whole time I thought "That is a woman who 'gets it' in terms of how the world really freakin works".

[Farrah]

I would love to be Oprah Winfrey. I just love her style!

[Jennifer Brooks]

Past: Sophia Loren

[serinalynn]

Kristy Brinkley and even at 50 she is still a looker. :thumbsup:
Brooke Shields has always been a favorite I saw her at 17 or 18 on a Bob Hope USO tour and went instantly in love with her.:heehee:

[Susan.]

Of the past... I also love Grace Kelly and those wonderful dresses.

Present... Sharon Stone, I could see myself being beautiful and smart.

Ask me again tomorrow and it might be two different people.

[Patrice]

Past - Ann Margaret; sheer, simplistic beauty.

Present - Mila Jovovich; lithe, lean and lovely no matter if shes doing makeup commercials or kicking zombie butt :)

[Stephanie Anne]

Past would have to be Aubrey Hepburn

Present would be Rosario Dawson or Eve Myles just becasue she is so damn cute even if she has that huge ole' gap in the tooths :p

[theresa]

Gave this quite a bit of thought. Kathryn Hepburn perhaps.

[Jane G]

Past, Deborah Kerr. Mainly so I could play Mrs Anna in the king & I.
Present, Gewn Stefani. I just like her style.

[Christina Louise]

Apart from the obvious answer of Diana Rigg as Emma Peel, it would nominally have to be Queen Christina, even more so if I could pretend that I was Greta Garbo playing the part.

"I want to be alone" - just practising.

[mrde2006]

Alyssa Milano, smokin bod!!!

[MJ]

Anna nicole smith ..bless her , marilyn monroe she is the greatest , and present Gwen stefani .

[Angie G]

The onn and only Sophia Loren :hugs:
Angie

[Alana65]

Past.....Lucille Ball (loved her red hair).

Present.....Charlize Theron (statuesque beauty) :love:

[TGMarla]

Queen Elizabeth? Nah. She had smallpox.
Catherine the Great? Nah. Russia's too cold.
Queen Victoria? Nah. Ugly.
Did someone say Anna Nicole Smith? Nah. Problems.
Marylin Monroe? Nah. She OD'd
Eleanor Roosevelt? Nah. (See Queen Victoria)

I'd have to go with Christie Brinkley, even though she says she's a country girl and doesn't wear dresses a lot. Let's just say that if I were her, I would.

[Helen MC]

Past Queen Anne (of Great Britain)

Present Actress Dawn French (Vicar of Dibley etc)

[deja true]

Past: Veronica Lake, hottest of the screen sirens.(Probably the model for Jessica Rabbit)

Now: always Joan Jett (or Pink, new generation of kick ass bitch)

[Cheryl Ann]

Young Valeri Bertinelli.

[SweetCaroline]

I'm pretty happy being myself.

But to answer your question, in the past I would have been Emily Dickenson, since I think I would have been the reclusive poet type.

In the present I would be Jodie Foster. She was one of the first actresses who I noticed as a child (next to Olivia Newton John and Carrie Fisher), I actually found my femme voice impersonating Jodie Foster and think I vaguely resemble her.

[Samantha43]

Pamela Anderson.......no woman has ever done "sexy" as well as her.

[Mmmatt]

Past? Hmmm. Elvira? I know she's still alive, but she's kind of in the process of passing the torch, so, whatevs.

Present? Gwen Stefani, Pink, Xtina... I love the way pop stars look.

Last night, I tried to do my hair like Pink's in the "God is a DJ" video, but it ended up looking more like that Gwen Stefani pic above. Gotta love those happy accidents.

[DonnaR]

I would have to say Elizabeth Taylor. In her prime she was flawless.

[Deborah Jane]

From the past Natalie Wood!! I had a real crush on her when i was younger

[Mitch23]

Joni Mitchell - an independent woman of heart and mind, very beautiful and with enormous talent in singing, musicianship, poetry and art


mitch

[Jamie14]

No Vanna White want-to-be's? New dress every night of your work life? Cameras rolling, stand there smiling while everybody is clapping. Except for putting up with Pat, she has a sweet gig and I like her style-even though she's kind of older............Jamie

[Marvina Martian]

Hmmm.....Amelia Earhart for the past and I would have to say I love Jennifer Garner or Cameron Diaz. There are just too many others out there.... :D

[JoAnnDallas]

Past: Jane Mansfield......Lovely, smart (held a Masters degree), and hot
Now: Lucy Lawless.......Lovely, smart, and takes nothing from anyone. LOL

[Chari]

Always loved Barbara Billingsly, aka June Cleaver in Leave it to Beaver TV show and the comments from Eddie Haskill: "That's a lovely dress you're wearing Mrs. Cleaver"!

Chari

[willowgurl]

I so wanna be Terri Hatcher!

[Rebecca C]

The person i would like to be, past or present would be Julia Roberts as i find her to be a classy and sexy image of how women should be :).

[wishonastar]

Mae West is my choice past. She was a beauty and I loved the Victorian dresses (or close to Victorian).

Present is harder. I love Asians but my first choice is Tara Banks. I would not have a problem with being her!
Then after searching since I am not on the present stars my second choice is Lucy Liu. I liked her when she did TV.

But they are tied.

[AmyH]

The past - I think it would have been great to be Cleopatra
The present - Danica Patrick - she looks great and gets to play with the boys.

[TSchapes]

In the past:

I'd rather be Joan of Arc than Anne Boleyn, because a hot steak is better than a cold chop. :tongueout

Present:
But truly, if I can dream, I'm going to dream big: Heidi Klum. Words cannot describe that gal. :love:

[Bev]

Donna Douglas, Oh to have a rich daddie,
Liz Taylor for the drama,
And Barbi Benton for the Sugardaddy!

EASY TO SEE WHY, Non?

Lov
Bev [ATTACH]

[Christina Nicole]

Not a flake or a bimbo. A woman of substance. There's too many to list, but off the top of my head...
Margit von Mises
Margaret Thatcher
Ada Lovelace, though she died quite young
Grace Hopper
Jeane Kirkpatrick
Elizabeth Stanton
Eileen Collins
Gertrude Elion
Marie Curie
Barbara McClintock

Warm regards
Christina Nicole

[racquel]

Krissy

[jazmine]

For past: Bettie Page
Present: Catherine Zeta Jones

I would LOVE to be either of these women! :daydreaming:

[Gemma Rhodes]

When I was a teenager I had a massive crush on Debbie Harry the lead singer of Blondie. She was gorgeous and used to wear some fantastic outfits and when she was on TV I always used to wish I was just like her and could wear the clothes that she did.

http://www.myclassiclyrics.com/artist_biographies/Debbie-Harry-2.jpg

After that I had another crush on the singer Kim Wilde for the same reason I had my crush on Debbie Harry.

http://wzeu.ask.com/r?t=a&d=eu&s=uk&c=p&ti=1&ai=30752&l=dir&o=0&sv=0a652827&ip=56960a3b&u=http%3A%2F%2Fcontent.answers.com%2Fmain%2Fconten t%2Fwp%2Fen%2Fthumb%2F9%2F94%2F200px-Kim_Wilde_Select.jpg

So, I would love to have been either of these lovely ladies but if I could only choose 1 it would be Ms Harry.

[Pandora]

Past - Sophia Loren or Ava Gardner. So classy.
Present - Gina Gershon or Maria Sharapova
(sorry, couldn't pick just one for each!) :hugs:

[Seville]

Past: Jane Mansfield
Present: Gwen Stefani

[KittenKraske]

I have to say Audrey Hepburn, there is no doubt! As for the present...I can't think of anyone for some reason. Fictional character, Tank Girl, NOT Lori Petty, the comic book version. Maybe Winona Ryder for the present, yes that is my final answer!

[Rita Knight]

Now I have dressed as Mae West!

[serinalynn]

In addition to my previous post on page one of this thread I'd like to add Princess Diana to my list. I have always felt that she was the most beautiful woman in the world.:):battingeyelashes:

[kimmy p]

I have to say, on purely physical grounds.... Shakira, love those hips. Marilyn Monroe, pure sex appeal. And Mariah Carey, Don't ask just always had a thing for her.

[Sarah Doepner]

I don't know where to start and wouldn't know when to stop. There are so many to choose from. Could I get a season pass and just move it around?

Jackie Kennedy Onassis maybe? What a life she had
Sophia Loren, she will still be beautiful at 115 years of age.
And Emmylou Harris with that great voice.

[Carol123]

Shirley Maclaine

[Ellie]

I'd loved to have been Mae West:

http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r44/ktshep/MaeWest.jpg

Or Queen Latifah: One heck a multi-talented Beautiful Big Woman!

[Maureen]

Past: Marlo Thomas when she was "That Girl".

Present: Katie Couric "New Babe".

[NicoleScott]

Jessica Rabbit. Please tell me she's real.

[DonnaR]

That's a tough one, but I'd have to say Natalie Wood or Jennifer Anniston.

[Steph53]

Past-June Cleaver,love the wardrobe


Present-Jennifer Beals,favorite character on the L Word,She is so hot!

[erickka]

Maybe this is a little off the beaten path, but I like Paula Abdul.....She's always a looker in her wardrobe. For a past, Barabra Eden was one of my faves.

[Tgirl74]

Victoria Beckham and Brigitte Nielsen

[Roberta Llyan]

There are so MANY to choose from it would be difficult to select just one or even two.

I will refrain from naming those already named and add:

JEAN HARLOW--(Dinner At Eight movie) past

[bridget thronton]

Kathryn Hepburn
