I lied, there are only 4. And only 1 is an actress. A Danish professional tennis player. A 2008 vice-presidential candidate from Alaska. A pop singer. And the only actress from the decade I noticed. Such is the state of modern television and movies.  About the only movies they make anymore are ones that are remakes of duds from 30 years ago. That were themselves remakes of movies from the 20’s or 30’s… Look at the current television lineup, Hawaii 5-0 and Magnum PI for god sakes! (Update: CBS has now remade ‘MacGyver’ also) Its been done! Crack a book and come up with a new idea! What do you get paid for? To copy other people’s work??

But I’ll put these 4 women up against the women of any decade. In the other decades a clear favorite of the bunch always stood out, not with these 4. All 4 are the stuff dreams are made of. I was going to say an athlete, a politician, a singer and an actor, but Sarah Palin was actually a college level basketball player herself. And Pink was a gymnast, so 3 jocks. And, Sarah Palin can also clean a fish. Television is so noxious and vacuous it eliminates any entrants to this group save Bowen. It gets worse next decade, I can only think of 1!

This is an interesting group in a couple of ways. If you look at Caroline, Sarah and Pink these are 3 very healthy and athletic women. And Julie at times looks very fit, other times going from slender to skinny. This fantastic four I realize have another distinction, they embody the concept of Warrior Women. They have embraced and beat hardship and adversity to varying degrees. I think it says something, I’m not sure what, but it says something.
