Who
else might be considered
alpha female?
Julia Roberts
Why
Her? Because this
winsome beauty with the big, radiant smile and a mane of auburn hair has
become one of the few bankable female stars, commanding $25 million a
picture. Because she's made a few flops (Mary Reilly, for one)
and still bounces back. Because she can get married with no shoes on.
Because she has entered the producing world with production company Red
Om Films, producing and starring in her latest film Mona Lisa Smile.
Because, while accepting her 2001 Best Actress Academy Award for Erin
Brockovich, she told the guy who monitored the length of acceptance
speeches, "Sir, you're so quick with that stick--you may as well
sit down, 'cause I may never be here again." We doubt that.
Best Quote: "I work when I want to work, and I work with
people that I want to work with. I travel hither and yon to fabulous
places. I'm surrounded by wonderful, interesting people. I live a
privileged life--hugely privileged. It's an excellent
life. I'm rich. I'm happy. I have a great job. It would be absurd to
pretend that it's anything different. I'm like a pig in s**t."--Vanity
Fair, 1999.

Madonna
Why
Her?
Because with a long standing career in the music industry, she still
influences generations. Because she kissed Britney Spears on national
television at the 2003 MTV Music Video Awards. Because, now a mother of
two (Lourdes, 7, and Rocco, 3), she has tuned in to her maternal side
(and created yet another lucrative business) by writing a successful
children's story, The English Roses. Because, even at the age of
45, we count on her to continually reinvent herself.
Best Quote: "I came to the realization that a strong female
is frightening to everybody, because all societies are
male-dominated--black societies, poor people, rich people, any racial
group, they're all dominated by men. A strong female is going to
threaten everybody across the board." --Spin magazine, 1996.
