There were many inspirational women during the 1950’s but the one woman that struck me the most was the beautiful Marilyn Monroe. If I ever had the opportunity to travel back in time to be someone else, I would choose to be her. She was an inspiration to young girls everywhere because she was so comfortable in her skin. She also took her talents to the top and became a mega star. Regardless if it’s 2012 or 1950, young girls struggle with self-confidence issues.
By examining the film we can see the use of all these to illustrate the narrative of one woman’s journey of falling in love. This film is directed by Anne Fletcher who has done romantic comedies before, such as The Proposal which makes this film better since Fletcher helps balance the comedy and romance in it. She has also been a choreographer for other romantic comedies, for example She’s All That, which also gives her behind the scenes experience in creating a romantic comedy film. Jane Nichols, the main character (Katherine Heigl), is the woman that is always taking care of other people and is in love with weddings; so much that she has been a bridesmaid and astounding twenty seven times. The male protagonist is Kevin Doyle (James Marsden) a newspaper reporter assigned to cover all weddings in the city of New York.
Ellen Ellen Lee DeGeneres is a famous actress, talk show host, and comedian. She will be known in the annual woman’s banquet for all her achievements and accomplishments. She was born in January 26th, 1958 at Metairie, Louisiana. DeGeneres is being honored from opening out her gayness to the whole world. I think Ellen Degeneres is a very strong and brave woman to come out with a secret like that.
In Amanda Fazzone’s article “Boob Tube,” she explains how TV. show heroines are empowered only because they “bask in the sex object role,” even though NOW (National Organization for Women) states that these “intelligent” and “well-rounded” women are able to “break out of the sex object role and portray authentic people.” Fazzone questions NOW’s credibility for their criterion of their idea of authentic and intelligent women. “If heroines like Felicity are empowered, it’s only because they’ve decided that what really drives female power is sex,” Fazzone states at the beginning of the article. Fazzone takes a stand against NOW asking how they choose their endorsements. NOW explains that their endorsements are intelligent, well-rounded authentic women, but Fazzone wants to know if they are really women who bask in the sex object role, and what are the shows NOW endorses are really about?
This made Baker the first American woman in history to be buried in France with Military honors. In conclusion, I would like to say that Josephine Baker is an example of a courageous woman. Josephine Baker has continued to intrigue and inspire people throughout the world. In 1991, HBO released “The Josephine Baker Story.” The movie won two Emmy and also picked up three Golden Globe nominations. All her life she’d entertained people and cared for them.
For example I recently saw the phenomenal film Their Eyes Were Watching God. Halle Berry stars in this version of Zora Neale Hurston's novel, adapted for television and produced by Oprah Winfrey. The story centers on Janie Crawford (Berry), a free-spirited woman who lives her life on her own terms. Refusing to accept her place as a black woman in the 1920s, Janie lives life to its fullest and experiences a journey filled with great joy and unbearable heartache. I enjoyed the casting choices because the actors and scenery joined to convey a part of the movies theme.
Due to the fact that Adriana has a very glowing personality, this will lead others to think she is a very nice and delightful person. In most of her pictures, she is smiling. If one watches a video of her she is laughing and having fun the whole time. There are never any instances where she is seen yelling or causing a scene anywhere. Adriana also does charitable work helping with an orphanage, "Caminhos da Luz" (Ways of Light), located in her hometown.
Kali Mitchell Mrs. Elliott English 1101 28 September 2012 Madonna of the new millennium “Forbes recently ranked her the most powerful and influential entertainer in the world. She has hundreds of fan Web sites, a video game, a Pepsi commercial, dozens of dolls in her image, a charity foundation, a movie, three hit albums, and multitudinous music videos-all before the age of 21” (Peters). Without a doubt, this is Britney Spears. She is anything but ordinary to the pop music industry. She deserves to be in our hall of fame because she beat her underprivileged childhood, for holding many awards and recognitions for her popular singles, for her amazing comeback from a tragic downfall, and her charity work.

The Wonderful Life of Miley Cyrus Miley Cyrus is such an inspiration for young teen girls. She is still a teen Phenomenon, being nominated for three categories in the Kids Choice Awards, Favorite TV actress, Favorite Movie actress, and Favorite female singer. She is liked world wide, but what makes her so perfect? She has constant accountable mistakes that she apologizes for, but then turns around and does something worse. She is easily forgiven for anything she does wrong just like any other celebrity.
