Day 4: Favorite Book

Thurston House - I could read that thing any day at any part of the story. It's one of those books that transcends several generations and you can picture these people in your mind's eye. If you have a chance, check it out.

Day 3: Favorite Musician

Here I have to go with Steven Tyler...yeah, I know he's in his 60's and has had drug problems up the wazoo, but I think it gives his voice a distinctive sound!

I'm more a fan of certain songs, rather than specific albums or artists, but I'll always go for anything to do with Steven Tyler. :)

Day two - favorite movie

Ahhh....there are so many different ones for various reasons. There are some awesome comedy performances, drama performances, horror performances...I seriously don't think I can name just one...but if I had to...I'd say it's "The Net" with Sandra Bullock - no laughing! I can watch that anytime!

Others I can watch at anytime, no matter what part I happen to pop in on:

Overboard
Big Business
Speed
It's A Wonderful Life
Rear Window
True Lies

and probably many more that I have forgotten!

Day one

Favorite actor - has got to be, hands down, Jimmy Stewart. I did love him in It's a Wonderful Life and Rear Window but I think the role that I love the best for him is when he's playing/being Elwood in "Harvey". Such a talent that man was. If we think modern day actor's, I'd probably go with Johnny Depp (no, not because my daughter thinks he's a god), but because he really becomes the person in the movies he does.
