Oh Stephanie Plum in the Janet Evanovich novels for sure! Her friends are diverse and fun. She lives an adventure. And has sex with two hunks! Can't get better than that! LOL

Atticus Finch. Not because he is a lawyer, but because he can deal with everyday events and keep on going. Whether you have read the book, or seen the movie (the movie mirrors the book faithfully), one cannot help but admire his temperament and how he goes about living his life, without being sanctimonious.

Alternately, Huck Finn. Wouldn't that be cool?

Yes! Stephanie Plum. However I fear at my age I would have to settle for Grandma Mazur. ;-)

Watchmelol ....girl don't let age get in the way...I'm 66. Besides old Grandma is an adventure all by herself! An the frisky old broad is almost as sexually active as Stephanie lol

Laura Ingalls Wilder, because I think, though she led a hard life, it was a simple and exciting life.

Nancy Drew! Loved her books as a child.

BUT Grandma Mazur would be a hoot to be.

Agree AAA! Getting old ain't for sissies and it's a lot more fun than the alternative. Being a grandmother has made me younger not older. My grand daughter sees me as one of her favorite playmates, not an old lady. LOL

Grandma Mazur it is then.

Mrs. Pollifax. She is smart, interesting, loyal, dedicated, clever, determined, and other adjectives I can't think of right now. Gets into scrapes and gets out again, meets fascinating people from all walks of life, foils evil, maintains high standards and grows flowers on her fire escape. I often wonder in the mornings what Emily will be getting into today. So sorry to bid goodbye to Dorothy Gilman.

I was going to say Stephanie Plum too! Just because of Ranger (omg!) and Morelli (yum)! But she has a lot of fun and adventure, unfortunately it's a tuff life lol. Grandma Mazur is a hoot!

I'd be another Nancy Drew. She was smart, pretty, independent, had a great dad, she had a car, a boyfriend, her pal George, and she got to solve crimes. But she got hit in the head and knocked out too often to believe.

Dr. Kay Scarpetta from Patricia Cornwell's crime series.

An elf in Lord of the Rings. Beautiful people and have Legolos for my brother. A hobbit wouldn't be bad either.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Wouldn't it be wonderful to fly?

The gal from the book "Fifty Shades of Grey." I believe her name was Anastasia. LOL Just kidding. And no, I haven't read the book or seen the movie. Have been hearing all the hype tho. My daughter saw the movie and was not impressed.

jim zone1... huck finn in his younger days ,without a doubt. when he grew up and turned into a wall street broker, not so much :-)

Ann Shirley.

sweet betsy i met patrica cronwell at richmonds theater of va some years ago. she's an interesting woman with a lot on the ball. a little strange but pretty nice. i think she set up house and bought a vineyard near charlottesville va.

pk pounder jl seagull, that's a name i have'nt heard since the 70s. the book was inspiring esp. to a teen. neil diamond's sound track to the movie was a thing of wonder.

I researched Neil Diamond and found him to be a very smart man. He kept control of his music when most in the business turned theirs over to whoever recorded their music. I love the movie Jazz Singer, but the movie needs to be repaired. It is really grainy.

I never saw the movie, it was gone before I knew it was there. If you haven't heard the sound track you should look into it. Also he's one of the top recording artist of all time.

I am kind of a simplistic woman, maybe with arrested development :-)

I really can't imagine myself as another human character, heroine or not!

I didn't see the movie, only read the book many, many times.

Jane Eyre. She gets Rochester, her great love, in the end and remains in total control. Even as a child first reading the book I loved her strength.

I agree, Eve Dallas is an interesting choice. I have no urge to be shot at, etc., but it might be a small price to pay for Roark. Ah, Roark . . . We'd have to rewrite her early life, though, and eliminate all those nightmares about her abusive father. But we should keep her car. We must keep her car.

Clare Fergusson popped into my head, probably because I just finished the 7th book in Julia Spencer-Fleming's series about her. This is a real stretch, because Clare is an Episcopal priest and I'm . . . not. But I like her enormously and admire her ability to pilot a helicopter. Also, I'm sure I'd find it a smooth transition to take over as Police Chief Russ Van Alstyne's love interest. Ah, Russ . . . LOL

As I child, I might choose to be Lucy Pevensie from Chronicles of Narnia and as a woman, maybe I'd be Jo March from Little Women.
