When I Grow Up or: Don Johnson is DA COOLEST

Last year, when Casino Royale was released, I made a comment that I wanted to be James Bond. Rob, of urban family fame, got to thinking (a dangerous pastime) about how my answer to the question "who would you most like to be" would have changed through the years. He shot out an email with his conclusion.

2007 ????

The dates are off on a few of them (Marsha Brady in '95?), he left a few people out (little orphan Annie, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn) and there are only a few people who I would NEVER want to be (Tipper Gore?!). Other than that, he did a pretty good job. Actually, it is rather SCARY how close he is to what my actual answers might have been!!!

I know it is still pretty early, but I am taking a "call for entries" for "Who Mel Wants to Be 2007". With my still-somewhat-new DC setting, Jackie O is taking the lead.
