Perhaps easier than finding a man?

Who does everyone know and like on ILE? (people from Dunedin are not allowed).

Lady Miss Kier?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:24 (twenty-three years ago)

You have fallen at the first hurdle N, I don't like her.

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Audrey Hepburn?

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Do you mean like as in find attractive, or like as in think is a lovely person?

I heard Lady Miss Kier talk once, and was rather put off her.

marilyn monroe

― minna (minna), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Joanna Lumley

― Ben Mott (Ben Mott), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:32 (twenty-three years ago)

In a more cynical mood I would say that this is harder than finding a man everyone likes, because women don't like (famous) women and men only like women if they're young and attractive. I don't think I will though.

Audrey is a good call, except there is the inevitable backlash to worry about.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:32 (twenty-three years ago)

I think for Brits at least: Kathy Burke.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Well I didn't want to kill off my thread before it had started, Tom. I thought of Lady Miss Kier as being vaguely equivalent to Bob Carolgees.

Audrey Hepburn I find *really* annoying sometimes, though I have hardly seen her in films. But shortly before she died I saw her on TV at some lifetime award ceremony whinging on about some charity and still trying to be doe-eyed and winsome.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Grace Kelly

― Ben Mott (Ben Mott), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Mother Teresa possibly?

(I don't dislike her per se...)

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:36 (twenty-three years ago)

I *kind* of have a problem with Kathy Burke too. More in the way she is treated that the her herself I guess.

Anyone vetoing Joanna Lumley or Marilyn Monroe. I don't really fancy either madly by the way, but I do like them and that's what the thread's about, yes.

Grace Kelly was a slapper.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Mother Theresa I *really* have a problem with.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Mother Teresa possibly?

Christopher Hitchens to thread.

― James Ball (James Ball), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Hitchens shouldn't count! He hates everything.

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:38 (twenty-three years ago)

N. Do you hate charity?

― Simeon (Simeon), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:39 (twenty-three years ago)

That seems a little harsh on Audrey N. She was a much better goodwill ambadassor than Geri Halliwell, anyway. And maybe doe-eyed and winsome was her default public face, even with colon cancer.

I have gone off Kathy Burke.

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:40 (twenty-three years ago)

the little white girl in the "Work It" video

― James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:41 (twenty-three years ago)

I haven't knowingly seen 3 of Ben's, and I don't like the rest.

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Floela Benjamin.

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Racist - what's wrong with the black girls? Huh? Huh?

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:43 (twenty-three years ago)

James = OTM

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:44 (twenty-three years ago)

they don't kick it like that little white girl does

― James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:44 (twenty-three years ago)

How come this thread is only about actresses and Mother Teresa?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:45 (twenty-three years ago)

How about Kate Adie then?

― Simeon (Simeon), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:46 (twenty-three years ago)

The Man is keeping them down.

...

And that man is R. Kelly.

(my new ILX persona = bad standup comedian)

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Betty Boothroyd? (Actually only UKers will have seen her probably.)

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Eleanor Roosevelt?

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:47 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't like Kate Aidie. She's all show and bluster and get out of my way usual correspondent, I'm award-winning.

I knew someone was about to post Betty Boothroyd! I don't like her either. I'll have to get my Dad to remind me why. She seems 'hey - cool' but when you've got beyond that there's bad things about her.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Eleanor Roosevelt is a good call and has reminded me of Katherine Hepburn.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Kate Winslet? If someone disagrees, I'll lose a lot of faith in ILX...

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:50 (twenty-three years ago)

no way Eleanor Roosevelt - she fucked her cousin!

Kate Winslet ROWR!

― James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Charo. Toni Collette.

I hate Audrey Hepburn, too.

― Arthur (Arthur), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:51 (twenty-three years ago)

EVERYONE has 'seen' Kate Winslet!

― James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Surely everyone likes Missy Eliot.

Kate WInslett has been a bad girl recently. She has nipples the size of saucers though.

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:51 (twenty-three years ago)

I hate Elizabeth Roosevelt because she was the female president of America on Civ II, despite her never actually holding a position of power. It just made the game look dumb.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Kate WInslett has been a bad girl recently. She has nipples the size of saucers though.

And, man, does the positive outweight the negative in that sentence.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Hilary Clinton?

― Ben Mott (Ben Mott), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:53 (twenty-three years ago)

No way - she's a Yalie

― James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Hilary from The Fresh Prince Of Bel Aire?

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Karyn Parsons is FOINE

― James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Exactly.

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 23 January 2003 17:58 (twenty-three years ago)

Winslet annoys me.

I think Lynskey was OTM!

I feel lost and disoriented. Why has no-one mentioned Winona yet? She's cute _and_ she's mad!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 23 January 2003 18:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Julie Walters

― Ben Mott (Ben Mott), Thursday, 23 January 2003 18:04 (twenty-three years ago)

(Betcha Winona still smells of Pirner.)

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 23 January 2003 18:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Winona is everyone's crush of shame

― actually she seems very friendly after all (Mark P), Thursday, 23 January 2003 20:21 (twenty-three years ago)

The obvious answer to this question: your grandmother.

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 23 January 2003 20:22 (twenty-three years ago)

oh, http://www.clubjosh.com/charo/

she seems okay.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 23 January 2003 20:22 (twenty-three years ago)

that's not responsive, mark p

― felicity (felicity), Thursday, 23 January 2003 20:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Margarita Pracatan! She's cool.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 23 January 2003 20:25 (twenty-three years ago)

I second Missy Elliot.

Yeah, I can do Colette.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 January 2003 22:35 (twenty-three years ago)

My vote is Jane Horrocks

The most sensible thing anyone has wrote on this thread.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 23 January 2003 22:40 (twenty-three years ago)

It can't be Alyson Hannigan because she has sex with the Humanclick guy. Emma Caulfield is a good choice though.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 23 January 2003 22:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Who is Jane Horrocks (and can we eat her)?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 January 2003 22:42 (twenty-three years ago)

We'd have to ask her husband's premission.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 23 January 2003 22:45 (twenty-three years ago)

PERMISSION. GRRR.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 23 January 2003 22:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Persimmon?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 January 2003 22:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Jane Horrocks? She's got wierd eyes, and she's virtually see through.

― Celeste (Celeste), Thursday, 23 January 2003 22:49 (twenty-three years ago)

But what about her husband's persimmon? Can we eat that, at least?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 23 January 2003 22:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Stop taking the piss. I AM TIRED!

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 23 January 2003 22:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Natalie Portman?

― Girolamo Savonarola, Thursday, 23 January 2003 22:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, Natalie Portman seemed really natural and sweet when I saw her on Letterman.

I don't trust Jane Horrocks.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 23 January 2003 22:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Natalie Portman = Worst actress ever

― Comic book guy (Nicole), Thursday, 23 January 2003 22:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, but do you like her?

Oh, and Star Wars doesn't count. George Lucas = worst screenwriter ever.

― Girolamo Savonarola, Thursday, 23 January 2003 22:58 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't like Missy Eliot.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 23 January 2003 22:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Can you elaborate?

N, saying "people from dunedin are not allowed" is like saying, "dunedin, get here now!"

― di smith (lucylurex), Friday, 24 January 2003 00:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh you're allowed on the thread I just meant you're not allowed to be nominated cause that would be too easy.

Ingrid Bergman?

Andrew I'm so glad you posted that Girl From Record Store thing. I have been obsessed with trying to find that, but it's not archived any more. I think I too have a crush on Danielle Meltzer, of the kind you have on your friend's older sister in high school. I also want to be her. Yet she is fictional *sigh*.

― Anna (Anna), Friday, 24 January 2003 01:25 (twenty-three years ago)

I LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!

I was about to say, Dan. To not know Bubble would have been a sign that you are a stranger to me.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 24 January 2003 01:51 (twenty-three years ago)

i used to be able to do the bubble voice and my mum made me put it on the answering machine and everything... how embarrassment

but anyway i really answered this thread because jel mentioned margarita pracatan! i'd totally forgotten about her but she's ace! prrraccataaaaan!

― minna (minna), Friday, 24 January 2003 02:33 (twenty-three years ago)

To not know Bubble would have been a sign that you are a stranger to me.

Whew! Talk about a crisis averted...a Dan/Ned divorce would be traumatic for ile.
