I’ve never been one to have a major crush on any male actor. Don’t take this the wrong way, but I can’t say the same for female actors! There are a few I just adore! That’s right, here it comes! Yet another list from me! You lucky people, you.

Anne Hathaway

I’ve loved her since high school when I saw her in The Princess Diaries. (dork) She is so incredibly talented and diverse. Even when she’s in a terrible movie, (are you kidding me, Ella Enchanted? Way to butcher a favorite childhood memory), I can’t help but enjoy her performance. She’s become so successful in recent years, but she seems willing to honor the people who got her there in the first place. She’s got an impressive voice-over resume building up, as well. Always classy, always beautiful, I just love her! And to top it all off – what a gorgeous singing voice! Looking forward to see Anne’s career continue to grow.

Amy Adams

I don’t even need to mention how adorable she is. Oh, why not; She’s ADORABLE! And yet, she has the ability to tone that up or down. Like Hathaway, she’s not just a one-trick pony. I guess I’m just really attracted to actors who go for good characters, whether they’re flattering or not. It certainly doesn’t hurt that she can sing, either. Hmmm…. is this a trend on the Lindsay-Happy-O-Meter?

Maggie Smith

I’m not really sure what it is about her, but I think she’s wonderful. What am I saying, of course I know what it is! Raw talent and hard-earned knowledge. It’s pretty rare that such a skilled stage actor can also be such a skilled film actor. Her intelligence, humor, and seriously deadly talent shines through every role. I don’t think she gets nearly enough praise for how awesome she is.

Amanda Seyfried

Amanda’s style is unique, fresh, and girly. I can’t quite put my finger on why I like her, but I do. Her roles may not typically be very deep, but she does it well. Also – her eyes are amazing!

Julie Andrews

I’m sure this is mostly the sentimental side of me, but I love Julie Andrews. Like many others, I grew up watching her and admiring her. So regal, so on point. She’s her own category. It’s always wonderful to see that glimmer of humor shine through her performances. You can tell that she’s probably really funny in person, but she plays it down juuust enough. I like that.

Meryl Streep

What can I say that hasn’t already been said? She can do anything. She takes each and every role seriously – and always pulls it off when nobody else would have been able to. My favorite thing about her is how reserved she is in real life. Some have interpreted her personality as snobbish, but I disagree. She’s private, thoughtful, and elegant. There’s no rule saying that actors have to be loud, flamboyant, and open – she’s proven that. I really respect that, actually.

Emily Blunt

Only recently have I begun to realize how cool Emily Blunt is. She’s often cast as the bad girl, and I’m guessing it’s a lot more fun that way. Maybe she just looks the part? Beautiful, fun, and real. Starting to have a crush on her as well.

I’m now realizing that a lot of these ladies are in movies together. They overlap quite a bit, actually. It could be that they’re in the type of movies that I like. Anyway, these are my favorites. Thought I’d share, cause I was bored this morning. Also, drawing celebrities is hard! I was going to sketch each one but gave up after about the fourth try to get Amy Adams right. Seriously tough to get drawings to look like specific people. More practice is in order.
