Back in the 70's even before my transition to becoming a women, I thought Mary Tyler Moore was it.

I think my dad was the only person I looked up to and respected. The heroes I had were in comic books and man how I loved my comic books. I remember after reading one month's installments anxiously waiting for the next month's issues and riding my bike to the little store where I bought them when they came out. I would buy three or four different comic books then get home and go into my comic book world until I was done. Even now I can feel how great that was.

When I was about 8, I was a fan of Pippi Longstocking stories and the "Little House" series by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

My favorite childhood hero was definitely Roy Rogers, and of course, his beautiful palomino, Trigger. We went to most of the western movies from the early 1950ās, but Roy Rogers, Rex Allen, and Gene Autry were the ones who usually played themselves.
I also got the new comic books as soon as they came out, and all of the neighborhood kids used to get together and trade comic books, so we could read the ones we didnāt have ourselves.

Never quite figured out Pat Brady and his jeep (Nellie Belle) riding the range in the 19th Century, maybe was frightened of horses? I read an interview with John Wayne who said 'he personally hated horses'.

I loved Patty Duke in The Patty Duke Show (playing Patty Lane). Also Lucy. I loved Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle and Pippi Longstocking, too.
I loved Sally Fields as Gidget on TV; I loved Sandra Dee in the movie version. I loved Gidget! She was a free spirit and her dad an excellent parent.

Just remembered before I saw the movie I had already read the books by Friedrich Kohner. The movie & tv show to a lesser extent where faithful to those terrific books!

Of course it was Roy Rogers. I was going to marry him when I grew up. You can find out about that on another thread.

I was going to marry Roy Rogers, too ! I remember being totally upset when my mom told me that I couldnāt because he was already married to Dale Evans.
Even so, I tried hard to convince Mom that he would want to marry me anyway.

Don't remember any.
I was about 10 years old and told my Mother when I grow up I want to look like Jane Russell.
She told me I'd better stand up straight then!

I loved Pippi Longstocking and I wanted to live in an Izba (Russian log cabin). Did not think of how cold it would be!

I think I liked her for much different reasons. She was a very strong women and even though this was before I started my transitioning, I still think in the back of my head I wanted to be like her.Being a man, Mary Tyler Moore was 'sort of' it for me too.
