I absolutely idolized Princess Leia as a kiddo too! I was 3 when Star Wars came out and it was the first movie I ever watched. At a drive inn no less! it was my world as well.

Between Leia in Star Wars, Margot Kidder as Lois Lane in Superman and Karen Allen playing Marion Ravenwood in Raiders of the Lost Ark, I feel fortunate to have had a series of bad ass female characters to have admired as a kiddo. They were strong, intelligent. Had careers, didn’t let men tell them how to live or what to do, and they loved hard.
