If you could click your heels three times, and change lives with any character from any film, who would it be and why?
HELEN PAAR - THE INCREDIBLES
JANE CRAIG - BROADCAST NEWS
Meet me... Jane. I work in the high pressure world of broadcast news production. I have to deal with geeky, smart guys and air-head bimbo guys on a daily basis and be a professional about it. I am driven to succeed but only in the most ethical way possible. I will not lower my standards just so that I can get ahead. As you can imagine, my life is incredibly stressful and I start each day with a crying jag so I can get it out of the way and get on with my day. Yes, I am that organized.
DORINDA DURSTON - ALWAYS
BARB - LITTLE BLACK BOOK
Meet me... I'm Barb. It's an appropriate name, actually. I am incredibly sharp. I am manipulative. I get what I want at whatever cost. But somehow, it turns out for the best anyway. I am a drama queen, in the middle of everything and everyone's business. The picture above is a perfect depiction of me. I am like a vulture, circling every carcass.
Actually, that last one is not me, nor any character I'd like to be, but I love watching this character do her thing.
You may have noticed that EVERY SINGLE ONE of these big-screen roles are portrayed by Holly Hunter. This was not planned, but even with all the thought I put into this, the only ones that popped into my mind were Holly Hunter ones! She always plays such strong characters and I supppose that is her appeal to me - I want to be a strong character too!

Great cast of characters all roled into one person..Holly Hunter. She is a great actress. I can see why you model yourself after her. I think your a strong woman Sayre. Thanks for sharing and Happy FM
Heh heh---that's my girl.

You ARE ElasticGirl, thats the only way you could get to be all those characters.
Ther is a little bit of ElasticGirl in all moms.
I admit to thinking for brief moments that I am like Grace (played by Holly Hunter), the boozy, gutsy, adultress cop in the television series, "Saving Grace."
Fun! I like Holly Hunter's performances, too.
From now on I will picture you hunched like a vulture on your kitchen counter, contemplating your next kill. Of course, this is only when you're at home. I'm sure your work frowns on perching on your desk.
Wow!! What a cool assortment of characters! I am ashamed to say I haven't seen any of those movies but now I want to! Heehee, LOVING the line about the Broadcast News lady who dealt with geeks and himbos daily, while staying professional...great!
And re. your comment on my post - yeah, I was also frustrated that Padme's insight and intelligence did not seem to extend to Anakin...and the heartbreak was what killed her. I know it was a necessary plot point, since they had to get Luke and Leia into the picture but get rid of any characters that did not go on to Episodes 4, 5 and 6 but I think they did Padme a disservice. Happy belated FM to you!
In case people are checking here.....the next Fun Monday is up on my blog.

Great characters, I like the choice!
