Name some famous people you imitated as a kid - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The Junkyard Dog. The former pro wrestler. When he hit the ring with his "Another One Bites the Dust" theme, I got up for that. I use to clap my knees the same way he did. I also tried to talk like him.

Incedible Hulk. I loved the Hulk. I use to play superheroes with neighborhood kids. I wanted to get beat up so I could "turn" into the Hulk. LOL

He-Man. I actually thought I was He-Man. The cartoon was so hot in the mid-80s, I would grab a stick and pretend that was my sword. He-Man was joint.

The Bionic Woman (YEAH!!!!! SHE RULED!!!!)
Wonder Woman (see a pattern here with the females Kool)

Mighty Isis (Saturday Morning stuff...you may not be old enough to know her)

Catwoman from the old 1960's Batman & Robin Show. My 2 Cousins played the duo and my brother always liked to play the joker. We had some great times doing this.

Diana Ross

My mom had this big curly black afro wig and I would put it on with some high heels and sing.

Debbie Gibson - I was about 9 or 10 when she was popular. I wanted to BE her.

Also, I wanted to be Jem, the cartoon character. I made my own star earrings like hers out of paper and taped them to my ears.

I thought if I touched the earrings with my finger, I too would be a gorgeous, much admired rock singer.

Selena and Bette Midler.

Steve Urkel comes to mind immediately. I loved watching Family Matters when it was on TGIF. When I learned that the actor who played him, Jaleel White, had the same birthday as me I imitated him non-stop. I think the line I said the most was, "Did I do that?" It's very difficult for me to imitate him now, since my voice has long since changed.

Fonzie from "Happy Days" (I used to LOOOOOVE that show!!!!!), W.C. Fields, Groucho Marx, Johnny Carson, Gomer Pyle, Jed Clampett
