Who is your kindred spirit? Someone famous who you have always felt an immediate kinship with - not in looks but in humanity; man or woman.

Marilyn Monroe.

Katharine Hepburn <--- I was named after her. My name continues to be misspelled as "Katherine" at almost every opportunity though. *rolls eyes*

What a great question!! Thanks,  Togi!

Er... I feel like I should be some kind of dog but grew up without a TV so...

::smiles::

 Dang, I can't play.

Dorothy!!! Even when she's a bit whiny I'm so impressed by how tenacious she is. And she is kind. And you know, I like those shoes...had a pair of red sequined shoes once...

I have a pair of red sequined shoes. :)

I don't know about kindred spirit. I love the vibe of Gladys Knight, Tom Hanks, Samantha Brown and Johnny Depp. Ok Johnny Depp may just be lust, but I dig him damn it! 

Oh, I know who! Mowgli!

My sister pegged me long ago actually..

I have met all these people too, ya know

John Lennon

Ingmar Bergman and Michael Nyman

Oh, also Gene Wilder.

Zorro. I know he's fictional,  but somewhere/somehow his spirit lives.

DreamsAreality....that is funny....that was mine too.  My brother pegged me that at a very young age....Lucy mac Lucy, he called me.  

I didn't have TV growing up either..... 

Daria Morgandorffer.

Angelina Jolie and KT Tunstall.

P J Harvey - so utterly true to herself.

Ged - the boy wizard in Ursula Le Guin's 'Tales of Earthsea'.

Malcolm Gladwell - original thinker!

I've been stopped before by people who think I look just like Sandra (especially when I have a good hearty chuckle). 

But I've always felt more of a kinship to the Little Mermaid...

Like Elsa, I feel connected to Anne of Green Gables.

Simply, she IS me. The depth of her emotion, her sensitivity...but also...her anger, her feisty nature, the comedy of errors she's constantly in because everything she touches breaks some how....it's me. All of her.

The only thing missing is the red hair.

And to picture it, I remind you of the particular part where she's doing the Ophelia thing in the river with her girlfriends; this displays it as painted by John Everett Millias.

Sweet, sweet, agonizing misery; wrapped up in delicious, all encompassing romance: 

Just for the record, I don't feel akin to Anne of Green Gables, that is the soldier's projection!!

My sister would tell you I would leave the house with a banana on my head like, Mowgli,  no problem.

Doris Lessing.  Not so much for her writing but for her take-no-prisoners, totally self-determined, free-thinking, no bullshit attitude.  And Gabriel Byrne - yes I do fancy the a** off him, but he's another freewheeler.   In his book he listed the writers and poets that he loved as a young man and they were all the same ones who'd made a huge impact on me, which might explain a lot.

I have been thinking about this...it's a hard question!

When I was a kid, I identified with like Harriet the Spy. In junior high, I made myself up a notebook of observations about the people I went to school with, including an exhausitve list of what I perceived as their personal assests and liabilities. I would let people see OTHERS pages, but not their own. Y'kno. Didn't know they could handle it.

 Yes, I was incredibly arrogant. I hide it better now. :)

The only excpetion was for my double-Libra pal, who literally nagged me near to death to see her own page. She could not leave it be, not knowing what my conclusion about her was.

What she found was a lengthy list of assests, with a single liability, written before her "let me see it" campaign: Can be too persistant...

gads I loved Harriet! 

I also really like Doris Lessing, not her fiction but I've read 2 autobiographical books of hers and they were fascinating, 'Under My Skin' was about growing up in Africa, I was riveted.

Adored Harriet's people watching skills!  Loved that book!

This is my family. My husband tagged me as Giselle from Enchanted. The other two are self-identified. Spock was my husband's hero. Everyone who knows my daughter and has seen GhostWorld recognizes it immediately. :)

Hubby -

Daughter -

Me -

Thanks for the Harriet picture, Dreams! It's been years since I've seen that cover. :)

Since I have been a kid I have been drawn to and fascinated by the goddess Artemis - must be my Sagittarius Moon ....

And always felt kinship with Tori

I am another gabriel byrne fan, especially in Little Women, a really good remake -- if you haven't seen it, do!

I like the Mogli thing, one of my favorite movies. I tend to to talk to animals myself, but that is another story for another day.

Nicole Kidman (post Tom Cruise divorce only however  - when she blossomed).  I loved Moulin Rouge, Cold Mountain she nailed it (I am from the south not too far from where that story was set)

Jody Foster (a straight version)

OK - so I have a Gemini Moon in the 11th house and a Venus in Aries in the 9th house - God/Goddess help me.

If you could smush those two into one person you would have it.

Also - she is not a celebrity but a movie character - Eowyn the Shield Bearer from the Lord of the Rings. 

Eloise at the Plaza!  

Been told I'm just like her. (And yes, I did wear patent leather shoes - as an adult! (pfft - well somebody has too))

Here she is.

My friends say that I am Scrat - the squirrel from the movie Ice Age. I just won't give up!

I seem to admire people who have spoken truth to power, for some reason.

Nancy Drew. My hero.

LOL I too relate to Nancy Drew!!!  I read all the books when I was a kid.

Kiefer Sutherland, Lisa Bonet, and Johnny Depp.

Britney Spears

Togi, this is such an interesting question... I've been thinking all day!!

 Anyway, I can't think of just one, but it would include a mix of the following:

Scarlett O'Hara, Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer), Elizabeth Bennet (Pride and Prejudice), Anne of Green Gables (yes, luci!) and Princess Leia, oh, and maybe Jack Nicholson.

Gandhi and Michael Jackson also!
