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 !

Diana Rigg...the famous Mrs Peel

Gillian Anderson....Scully of the X files

two of the strongest female roles ever on TV

[KathrynTX]

Past - Marilyn Monroe

Present - Zooey Deschanel

[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.
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.

[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

[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
Angie

[Alana65]

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

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

[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.
