'WIlford' in 'Cornbread Earl and Me' dang, his performance made me cry. Laurence Fishburne was a great child actor.

I don't know where to start but I saw FashionFreak's post and it reminded me of what I thought the first time I saw an Audrey Hepburn movie. Holly Goligthly- untouchable fierceness.

Obviously, the anarchistic "i do what I want" style of Marx Bros comedy scarred me for life and further trashed any ideals of "normalcy to avoid conflict" I had when I first saw them, particularly woman chasing (literally) Harpo.

Harold Lloyd came when I was 20 but still spoke to me on a deeper level than physical comedy. In the same way people felt touched by Chaplin I feel that way about Harpo.Clara Bow in They Call Her Savage.

Any of Jackie Chan's "goofy doof" characters- Snake in Eagles' Shadow, Drunken Master; his early Chaplin-esque films are more than action kung fu flicks to me.

Ginger in Ginger Snaps as well as her sister who is the real hero, female heroes not acting for the benefit of men or children are damn hard to find; female predator; month long menstrual bleeding, what's not to love?

Lolita the movie and especially the book made a huge impression on me in highschool.

Gene Wilder is a very important to me, I studied his ability to suspend belief in his roles; especially Charlie and Chocolate Factory by being really intense and playing into what people want to hear to catch them off guard as well as his silliness in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Smarter Older Brother to make my March Hare and/or Doormouse better. That style of method acting bled into my improv. Fond memories of pouring over. ..being obsessed with subtext and having a big study group on Fridays when I was crazy about theatre. I wish I could get that innocence back so I could enjoy myself again. Graham Chapman is another influence. "there is nothing as offensive as mindless good taste" or something like that.

Madeline Kahn is another role model. Mel Brooks is like a god in the sky to me. People think it's odd that I've never cared for Woody Allen films but it's all about checking the neuroticism without being subtle.

In elementary and middle school Daria was my flag of indifference to all the conformity and uniformity around me. LOGO is showing the show, now.

I love vampish humor the Golden Girls were a big influence on me from the age of 14 on, it was refreshing to see women who shouldn't be heard from (older women) being so funny.
I don't know where it comes from exactly but Debbie Reynolds and all the other queens won me over with their matter of factness that rivals any salty male's. Same with Mae West and Clara Bow as well.

I totally forgot to include Designing Women- Julia Sugarbaker was the terminator. Made Dixie Carter RIP one of my favorite actresses.
And lots of other stuff. Some male anti-hero I was about to post but forgot. Dr. Cox! Yeeees, Dr. Cox.

As a child, I always identified with Ren from Ren and Stimpy and still do. Mandy from GABM.
And Elvira.

Anita Mui made any role she played accessible to me. Something about her as a person made all of her roles easy to identify with to me (even in Heroic Trio; my favorites are her roles in Eat Drink Man Woman and Rouge.), I guess because she was a great actress and singer and could channel her life experiences through her work.

Mongo Slade ("from New York City...who are all these people?...") "Let's Do It Again" is probably my all time favorite film and everybody was great in it.

Preach & Cochise from Cooley High. Preach showed me that it's possible to be cool, awkward, artist, dreamer with glasses all at the same time.

Grandpa and the Reverend from Which Way Is Up? "As I put on my platinum glove..."

Nino Brown in New Jack City. "Am I my brother's keeper?..."

Mouse from Devil in a Blue Dress. 'Nuff said (and if you don't know, rent it now). Where Don Cheadle proved he is the best head up with Denzel. "If you didn't want him dead Easy, why'd you leave him with me?..."
