I guess this is for those of us CDs who may tend to identify more with women than men. I don't remember identifying with male role models, but I think I tended to identify with the women.
I guess for me the first female role model was Wonder Woman. Then there was Xena, warrior princess, possibly based on a real person whose ancient letters to her mother were found a few decades ago. And then came Buffy, vampire slayer. I liked Buffy most, partly because the dialog was rather intelligent and humorous.
I think I identified more with Mom than Dad. Mom seemed more rational and kind, while Dad seemed more moody and hard-nosed (a workaholic).
I admire Hedy Lamar's intelligence, but I don't remember any of her movies that stood out for me. I liked also Barbara Stanwick (not Streisand) somewhat as Annie Oakley, as well as Gail Davis in the tv version. I liked Kim Novak in Vertigo, partly because she was progressive enough to go braless in the movie and because her role was tragic. I don't remember any other tragic role that moved me much. I like Gina Davis in her pirate roles and red hair.
I do admire men for some things, but I don't identify with them as much. But one is Lasse Gjertsen in Amateur and Hyperactive etc. I love his creativity.
I'm sure someone knows of a few women role models that would also go on my list.
