I want to be Frankie Stone.....

I was just thinking the other day about different women who I think have it all together. There is that character Frankie Stone from the movie "Making Mr. Right" that I really think is my "ideal" woman. She is confident, quirky and not textbook beautiful, but all together beguiling.
I like her sense of style, and she isn't into "fashion"...she just knows what works for her.
All through this movie she wears these op-art-y suits which are all similar, but in different colors.it is her uniform. She also has a side to her that is so sweet and vulnerable and kooky.
She falls for a robot, but she doesn't really care what anyone else thinks. She is sick of everything that people are telling her is "normal" and she is just listening to her gut.
I also think that a lot of this character is indicative of its portrayer. Ann Magnuson is one ofthe most underrated actors today. She used to play Catherine on "Anything But Love" She was a bit over the top, but still had that great elan. There is something about her that reminds me of actresses in the 40's and 50's. she has that quick-fire patter to her way of speaking, and I could see her in many old movies I have seen, easily.
So today, I pay tribute to Frankie Stone/Ms. Magnuson.
Very chic, and very cool.
