Trying to be realistic while also still being aspirational...
-Lori Loughlin's Becky from
Full House. Hot, nice, supportive, has a career she's passionate about. Seems like a great person who'd make a great partner.
-Fran Drescher's Fran Fine from
The Nanny. For the entire '90s, her voice was a punchline, but it doesn't bother me. And I just love this character, sexy as hell but also lovable with a huge heart of gold, very funny, and very sweet.
-Anne Heche's Dr. Amy Barnes from
Volcano. Weird pick, but I've been in love with her in this movie since I was a kid. Smart as hell, funny, just a ton of personality, and not just pretty but strangely attractive to me in an unquantifiable way.
-Karolina Wydra's Dominika Petrova from
House. Just rewatched this recently and forgot how much I love her in this role. I first saw her in
True Blood but it's this character that I like. Smart, funny, sexy...and I have a weakness for Euro girls.
-Emily Mortimer's Mackenzie McHale from
The Newsroom. Such an endearing character, as smart and as tough as she is funny and loving.
