A conversation about female role models, old-school vs new, came up with the following exchange:

"I'd rather be Mae West than Marilyn."
"Mae West crossed with Kate Hepburn. That would be awesome."

Isn't that Glenn Close?

Once upon a time, it was Madonna, actually... Not sure who it is, now.

It could be Natalie Portman, but she has to want it. Then again, the desire to do your own thing is a hallmark of independence.

That was actually my thought as well. But these days...Madonna...eh. Not quite sure. Mae West crossed with...or just an updated Mae West.

I can see that. Though me, I want to be Michelle Yeoh.
