The Skipper
On Gilligan’s Island, the Skipper Jonas Grumby (Alan Hale Jr) is the captain of the S. S. Minnow. A jovial fellow who gets exasperated by Gilligan on occasion, he still has the patience of a saint for not having thrown “little buddy” overboard.
Eric Cartman
In South Park, Eric Carman is an aggressive, manipulative, and emotionally unstable boy. Like his huskiness, some of it can be explained by his permissive mother, who let’s him get away with murder.
Murph
In Interstellar, Murph Cooper (Mackenzie Foy and Jessica Chastain) is a bright, precocious girl named after Murphy’s Law. But that doesn’t necessarily mean bad things must happen, as her dad Coop is quick to remind her. For instance the ghost she takes notes on doesn’t appear to mean her any harm.
Danny Torrance
In The Shining, Danny Torrance (Danny Lloyd) has horrific premonitions about the Overlook Hotel, which his father Jack was hired to take care of for the winter. When Danny first arrives at the hotel and explores it on his Big Wheels trike, there’s something that draws him to Room 237.
Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman
In Pretty Woman, Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts) is a prostitute with a heart of gold. As luck would have it, her john is a handsome and wealthy Richard Gere, who treats her to a makeover.
Samara Morgan from The Ring
In The Ring, Samara Morgan (Daveigh Chase) is pushed down a well by her adoptive mother to slowly die over 7 days. She returns as an evil spirit that climbs through TVs to kill others. For maximum effect, remember to wear you wig backwards.
Amelia Earhart
Amelia Earhart, as the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic, was a pioneer in both senses of the word. Tragically, she disappeared during her 1937 attempt to circle the globe, and mysteries about what happened linger to this day.
Hermes Conrad
In Futurama, Hermes Conrad (voiced by Phil LaMarr) is a workaholic bureaucrat. He’s buttoned down in the past though, competing in the Olympics as a limbo athlete. He frequently makes exclamations like “tally me banana” in his heavy Jamaican accent.
Maude Flanders
In The Simpsons, Maude Flanders (voiced by Maggie Roswell) is wife to Ned Flanders. They may seem like an odd pairing given her beauty, until you see what Ned’s packing under his shirt. Maude is tragically killed when she’s hit by a T-shirt cannon at a speedway race.
