Which leading lady would you be?

SueEllen in Dallas!

Julie Andrews as Maria in The Sound of Music - I can see myself striding/prancing about the mountains with adoring children following me (!!) and a handsome man panting after me whilst singing (in tune) beautiful melodies.

Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie.

I'd probably be Faye Dunaway in 'Bonnie and Clyde'. A gorgeous leading man and those fabulous cars. I thought the beret look was very cool at the time.

Or Julie Christie in 'Far From the Madding Crowd' with three suitors including the dashing Sergeant Troy (Terence Stamp) and the beautiful Dorset countryside. What more could you want?

Yes Grace Kelly in High Society having to choose between Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby, both of whom she had had affairs with in real life.

Wow Framilode - Grace Kelly had affairs with Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby! I have recently watched her in "To Catch a Thief" and she was so beautiful. If I was her I'd of rather have chosen between Steve McQueen and Paul Newman. Frank and Bing would not have stood a chance with me!!

Jane Eyre opposite a young Laurence Olivier playing Mr Rochester.
Barbara Streisand playing opposite Robert Redford in The Way We Were.
Barbara Streisand playing opposite Nick Nolte in Prince of Tides
I guess Barbara S can have her pick of leading men, so maybe I should just be her.

Meryl Streep in Silkwood.
Julia Roberts in The Pelican Brief.

Meryl Streep in Out of Africa, or Mama Mia. In fact Meryl Streep in just about anything!

I forgot Samantha from ‘Bewitched’, I so wanted to be Samantha.
I had very short, straight brown hair when I was a child and I really, really wanted long hair. When I was finally allowed to have longer hair, I couldn’t understand why it wasn’t blonde and ‘flicked up’ like Samantha’s.

Bette Davis in Now Voyager. One of the most romantic films ever made.
But, more like my own character, Calamity Jane.

Tidyskatemum you beat me to it. Liza Minnelli in Cabaret.

Audrey Hepburn - Eliza Doolittle

Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. She was so elegant and pretty

Bridget Jones ?

Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's

Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman!

Grim reality strikes here...Margaret Rutherford as Miss Marple in,"Murder she said", "Murder at the gallop","Murder Ahoy", she looked as if she was having such fun despite being large and ungainly...and she was beautifully dressed and very clever!

I'd opt for Ellen Ripley from the Alien film series played by Sigourney Weaver....I quite fancy myself as the "action heroine"
My other role would be Cathy from Wuthering Heights, however I would need Olivier as my Heathcliff.

When I was younger, and heavily involved in amateur theatre, I would have loved to play Eliza in My Fair Lady. Then it was Lady Bracknell. I’m sure that if that opportunity arose now I would never be able to remember the lines ( though I can still remember lines from Gilbert and Sullivan operas from 40 years ago!

Anything playing opposite the gorgeous Sean Bean ?

Samantha in Bewitched, Julia Roberts, especially in Pretty Woman, but really I’d like to have Victoria Wood’s talent!

I'd like to have been Barbra Streisand in "What's Up Doc?"

Bagsy me Katharine Hepburn in The African Queen!
(But I could never fancy Humphrey Bogart, much preferred the buttoned up Christopher Plummer in The Sound of Music!)

Any leading lady playing opposite the dear departed Alan Bates.
I would also liked to have sung a duet with Scott Walker ( also deceased)
Trying the think of a live one now-can’t!

Katherine Hepburn in The Philadelphia Story, with funny Jimmy Stewart and gorgeous Cary Grant.
