Your (childhood) idols

What idols did/do you have?

My idol always was - and still is, kind of - Lara Croft.

I thought her life was pretty awesome, because
- she's rich
- she has a big beautiful house WITHOUT NEIGHBOURS
- she doesn't do a stupid boring job
- she's athletic and beautiful
- she's alone a lot of the time
- she's intelligent and headstrong

Wayne Gretzky was my childhood hero. He was a great hockey player and he played for the Edmonton Oilers for many years. He was also born in Canada, as well.

My childhood idol was Balto, from the animated movie of the same name. I loved him because he was an outcast like me, but he wound up saving the day and becoming a hero; everyone loved him in the end. Not to mention that he was incredibly brave and never gave up, which are qualities that I don't believe that I possess, neither as a child nor as an adult.

I had a major crush on Maya (Catherine Schell) of Space 1999 and
Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter) when I was 5.
My other favorites would be:
Starbuck ,Apollo and Commander Adama from Battlestar Galactica
MacGyver
Tom Baker (Doctor Who)
Most of the characters on Kung Fu (Tv series)

-The Spice Girls
-Aqua
-Laura Ingalls Wilder
-Anne of Green Gables
-my mum lol

Dr Sarah harding, dr richard levine and dr ian malcolm from the lost world and jurassic park books. also to a lesser extent....dr grant and kally.

Once I was ten or so I became pretty obsessed with Fran Lebowitz. I pretty much still am. Love her.

im going to leave out fictional characters. steve irwin was mine. he inspired a love of animals and the environment in me that lasted all my childhood and that i became known for. i still remember being told when he died. i think my opinion of him now is a little different.

I'm a fan.

I didn't have any idols as a kid. The idol I have now is the iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove. She's one of the few idols out there I consider to be a good role model. She's smart, mature, responsible, sweet, funny, wholesome., & she's putting her acting career on hold to go to college

Didn't have any.

No one is worth being idolized.

My friend in primary school as he was so cool headed.

Frimelda Lotice as a vidja gaming idol.

Family in life.

My dad

Tygra from the original Thundercats

Bill Watterson

Terry Pratchett

Elton John

I've never had any.

Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee and Eowyn of Rohan especially, but all of the "good guys" in LOTR.
