.......... 
 
julie andrews as maria von trapp 

..........
next... me as maria von trapp in the movie: the sound of music
i've dreamed of being this character since i was a wee little singer-around-the-house-er.

i mean ... twirling in the alps.
singing around austria.
making a whole family of outfits out of curtains?!
kissing young christopher plummer.
that's a role i'd REALLY like! :)

my final dream character to be: 
elizabeth bennet in pride & prejudice.
she's delightful & admirable.
and just to seal the deal ... three words ... 
courting mr. darcy.

  1. HAHA!
    I would be Ada McGrath (Holly Hunter's role) in the Piano. So powerful and I adore that movie.

    and

    Amelie - the character Audrey Tautou popularized. She's clever and makes so very many great eye movements! L>

    Can't think of a third. Thank you for the FUN!

  3. Oh yes, Amelie!

    Also Molly Ringwald's role in Sixteen Candles, just to get revenge for those junior high years, and Katherine Hepburn in The Aviator (as played by Cate Blanchett), to be a svelte, well-dressed, successful film beauty.

  4. Can I be Yu Shu-lien and still get delicious Mr. Darcy? If not, than I want to be James Bond.

  5. I have to agree with Amelie - I love that character.

    I would also like to play Sally Owens in Practical Magic (who wouldn't want to have powers like that!) and Summer in 500 days of summer (I would love clothes like that).

    And anything with Zooey Deschanel!
