<p>Can be actor, actresss, singer, politician, leader, etc.</p>
<p>Mine is Manmohan Singh. Grew up in a small village, won scholarships to study economics in London, and liberlized India's economy, taking hundreds of millions out of poverty and into middle class life. He's also a clean politician in a sea of corrupt scoundrals.</p>
<p>What about you guys?</p>
<p>Kobe Bryant, Keith Olbermann, Howard Dean.</p>
<p>I absolutely adore Kate Winslet and Sandra Bullock. A close second and third is Drew Barrymore and Brittney Murphy (RIP 
)</p>
<p>Elisha Cook, Jr. is a perfect role model for me.
From Wikipedia:
[He] was an American character actor who made a career out of playing cowardly villains and weedy neurotics in dozens of films.</p>
<p>Oprah Winfrey!</p>
<p>Gackt is my role model.
He’s a singer, songwriter, composer, poet, actor, model, and mastered trumpet, tuba, trombone, piano, guitar, drums, and bass. He speaks Japanese, English, and Chinese.</p>
<p>Francis Marion (partisan leader in the American Revolution), John S. Mosby (same in the Civil War), in that order. I had to change the username due to MarionMosby sounding like a girl’s name.</p>
<p>Then there’s Teddy Roosevelt (one of the few famous people whose live weren’t completely unenviable…), Stonewall Jackson (awesome on so many levels), and all the guys whose names I don’t know who hit the beaches on D-day, rigged radios from inside Nazi prison camps, flew planes home on half a wing and a prayer, and then came back home and put men on the moon (and brought them back).</p>
<p>Lindsey Lohan. ;)</p>
<p>"Wilson: I’m saying that Stonewall Jackson was trash himself. Him and Lee and all the rest of them rebs. You, too.
Frank ‘Stonewall’ Torrey: You’re a low-down lyin’ Yankee!
Wilson: Prove it. "
Poor Elisha Cook [noparse]:([/noparse]</p>
<p>Seconding Sandra Bullock.</p>
<p>Meryl Streep! great actress, super smart, went to yale…
and Daniel Brühl: cute, good actor, smart and speaks like 5 languages…</p>
<p>Edna Mode.</p>
<p>John Milton, Albrecht Altdorfer, and Sendivogius!!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You mam, win at life.</p>
<p>I would have to say K’naan. He grew up in Somalia during the Civil War (Black Hawk Down is about this, if you’ve seen it). His 3 best friends were shot and killed in an alley on the same day. He got the last commercial flight out of Somalia to America, and then lived in Harlem for a few months. Then he moved to Canada, and later on he preformed a spoken word piece in front of the UN on behalf of Somalia. Now he’s a beast rapper :D</p>
<p>^ I’m somali!!! 
K’naan’s awesome i totally agree :D</p>
<p>btw the “somali” people in black hawk down look nothing like somali ppl!! i was like ***!!! I know a lot of ppl in my extended family that were shot and killed during the civil war I actually was in Somalia last summer…lol.</p>
<p>Natalie Portman and Emma Watson</p>
<p>Probs John Lennon and Buzz Aldrin.</p>
<p>Mine is ghandi and Marie curie. I admire their sense of leadership and dedication to make what is right and not just go along with it. I guess it’s like my personality and that’s why I like them. I also love their stubborness. It truly inspires me of how much they have proven to this world and I wanna do the same thing…I guess.</p>
<p>Not really someone I idolize or a “role model” per say, but my favorite celebrity is probably Robert Downey, Jr. I can’t think of a famous person that I consider to be my role model, to be honest. There’s quite a few that inspire me artistically, though.</p>
<p>Jesus
Barack and Michelle Obama</p>
