Did you ever want to BE a tv character? :)

... either from a past or present tv show? ...for any reason, big or small?

I was just watching a very old episode of The Avengers for the first time in decades. I remember when I watched it as a very young girl, I desperately wanted to be Emma Peel. I thought she was so cool and sophisticated. I wanted to speak like her, even though I didn't understand at the time it was a British accent, I wanted my hair to perfectly flip like hers, and I especially wanted to wear that black patent leather catsuit! {#emotions_dlg.tt1}

Anyone else?

First person who pops into my head is Marlo Thomas in That Girl. I wanted her big pouf of bangs and would stuff a wad of cotton under mine and then tape it down with pink hair tape. I would have liked Samantha Stevens' twitchy nose, too.

I would like to play a fun role...evil with a sense of humor...like Eva Longoria in Desperate Housewives. Real life...might take me a few minutes to think on that?

It took me a minute to figure out you meant "bangs". That's so funny!

No. The guys on TV were always more interesting.

I wanted to be an NFL linebacker.

Focksie? Do you know that Diana Rigg has a role in Game of Thorns? It took me ages to realize who she was.

Mary Richards so I could turn the world on with my smile

It's always a victory for me when I remember why I entered a room.

Lily Munster - I liked the house.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.
