Fictional Female Fridays: Penny Lane

Kate Hudson at Yankee Stadium in New York

"Almost Famous" is one of my favorite movies of all time. Mostly because it's about a journalist, who happens to be the geeky, awkward, sweet baby-faced kind of guy I always go for.

But I also fell in love with Penny Lane (Kate Hudson) because she is like no other movie heroine out there. She is innocent without being virginal, sweet but not selfless, smart but not intellectual, and just plain weird.

My favorite scene is when she's alone in a hotel ballroom, dancing on rose pedals to Cat Stevens's "Wind of my Soul." Why can't I have that much fun when I'm by myself?
