Ayla in Clan of the Cave Bear - I drew inspiration from this character not based on Daryl Hannah's acting, but more about the strength of her character's character (didn't mean to get repetitive ). As a woman, I can identify with many of the themes covered in this story, and know that many women before me fought the good fight to ensure that I as a woman can enjoy the things many take for granted. It also reminds me that some things have changed very little since the time we lived in caves.
It doesn't get any more memorable than Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler in Gone With The Wind, maybe the most classic of all pictures ever made. And you're hearing this from a Clint Eastwood fan!

Never saw this one, but I will now. A character this reminds me of, one who fought the good fight so that those that came after could enjoy a better life, was the Sidney Poitier character in, "In the Heat of the Night."
Anybody who hasn't seen this movie should. A Philadelphia detective, a homicide expert travelling through Mississippi in the late '60's, gets caught up in a big murder case. A black guy in that where and when would have to face bigotry and dehumanization and he does, but the turning point is when the Poitier character, Virgil Tibbs, must face his own hate, his own prejudice, the fact that he has his cites set on the small town, racist land baron for the rap, but he's innoncent...
The scene right after the one where Poitier gets slapped by this guy and duly slaps him back is the turning point. Outside this guy's mansion, Tibbs tells Steiger, the local police chief, "I can make him pay, I can pull that fat cat off of his hill!" And Steiger's character says, "Oh boy, now you're just like the rest of us."

"As God is my witness, I will never be poor again."
Marlon Brando in "On The Waterfront."
James Dean in "Rebel Without A Cause."
Terry Malloy, great pick! Torn between loyalty to his brother and the hand that fed him, and his new obligation to the woman he loves and his nagging, new-found conscience.
Another one might be the Montgomery Clift character in From Here To Eternity, Robert E. Lee Pruitt, the prodigious bugler and boxer who because of his blinding of an opponent in the ring and despite the relentless pressure, the "treatment", that he endures, refuses to ever step foot inside the ring again.
Yeah, talk about a stand-up guy with courage of his convictions! An attorney in the Jim Crow South defending an innocent, one-armed black man accused of raping a white girl.
I love this character.. he was a great dad to boot.
