Harry Potter - the character made life so much easier for millions of child spectacle wearers.

Buddy Holly was my first big crush. I was really smitten blush And his specs made him look so cool.
I was only 14. By the time I was 15, he was dead....so lives on in my memory as an icon, untarnished by age sad

Oooh, has to be Penelope Garcia in CSI (Kristen Vangsness). In real life she looks great and in CSI, who wouldn't want to be that damn smart!

Sophia Loren gets my vote for a specs icon. Something I've learned from seeing Her Majesty at the State Openings of Parliament - never wear a crown with glasses....

I think Jennifer Aniston looks amazing in glasses smile
