Can’t wait to see this movie. I love the first one!
Joan of Arc

The first one seriously rocked :).
Since my wife just took my favorite historic character, I’m going to pick Abraham Lincoln.
Thanks for the contest!

What a great contest! For me it’s a tie between Elizabeth I and Hatshepsut.

Da Vinci…he’s my hero….

Hmm, that’s actually a tough question. Maybe Shakespear

Great list so far, but I gotta give it to Elizabeth I. What a story! What a life! What a WOMAN!
Her mom is beheaded by her dad, she gets imprisoned in a tower, she somehow becomes queen of England, ... and that’s just the primer. Plus, who else is rumored to have done it with a horse?! OMG.

Whoo hoo!! This is a weird but I love Marie Antoinette. Mostly because of the movie. To be taken from everything you love and know and thrown into something completely different? What would any girl do but shop? Okay, we might do some other things, too, but still. I loved seeing more to the story than what we hear everyday.
By the way, my kids would have a field day with $25 to McDonald’s - they could eat there 12 times! And I would go next door to whatever is NOT McDonald’s : / .

As frequent visitors to the real life Smithsonian I think my girls would love to see this movie! I’m voting with the so-far majority on this one.. Elizabeth I. I even have a daughter named after her! Or Anastacia, the lost Russian princess, who my other daughter is named after. Women just make more interesting history, don’t you think?

hmmm..that’s a tough one. I don’t know if he’s my favorite, but I sure would like to have had a chance to talk with Nikola Tesla a few times.

Think I am going to have to go for Rosa Parks, first historical figure that came to mind who has had a real impact on my life, proof that you can always make a difference.

I am going to have to say Mary Tudor, whew what an up and down crazy life she had.
What a great movie package!

Susan B. Anthony, who grew up and lived a good deal of her adult life in this area.
There’s an IMAX about 25 miles from my house but I haven’t been to it yet.

Clara Barton. Without a doubt Clara Barton

So many to choose from. I’m going to go low key and say Laura Ingalls Wilder because her books really made history come alive for me as a child. I mean I luv Ben Franklin but Laura was much more real to me.
Look forward to seeing the movie but good news, it was sunny in PA all weekend so we did not have to resort to the movies.

After much deliberation (oy, you have no idea) my eldest and I have awarded the tickets to Jennifer of thewilderones.com. Logan and I agree that it is hard to beat having two children named after your favorite historical figures. There’s admiration, and then there’s truly honoring someone. Congratulations! Award codes are in the mail!

What a fantastic contest! I can’t wait to see this with my son!

Hey you said the winner would be ‘randomly selected’! I totally could have thrown the kids names in for the win. ;-) Kidding. No biggee.

I’m sorry! I didn’t read my own post. They gave me copy and I just used it! Besides, how do you randomly select a comment? Write them on slips of paper and put then in a hat? Suppose I could, if you want to have our tickets!
