ROBERTS' BROCKOVICH VOTED TOP MOVIE HEROINE

[YAWO]

ERIN BROCKOVICH has been voted the greatest movie heroine of all time.
The single mum lawyer, played by Julia Roberts in the 2000 drama based on a real-life story, fights to gain compensation for victims of contaminated drinking water - and Brockovich has come out as moviegoers' favourite fighting woman.
FBI agent Clarice Starling, played by Jodie Foster in The Silence Of The Lambs, came in second place, with Angelina Jolie's sexy fighter Lara Croft in Tomb Raider voted third.
In fourth place was Ellen Ripley in Alien, portrayed by Sigourney Weaver, while Linda Hamilton's character Sarah Connor in The Terminator rounded out the top five, in a survey of 3,000 Brits.

i loved both erin and clarice. they are definitely two of the most iconic female characters of the last 25 years.
jolie's lara croft was such a disappointment. uma thurman in kill bill was 100 times better.

I like Erin and agent Ripley. Weaver made her part in a smart way.
Jolie was like a cartoon. Never liked it.
