Actors, Movies, Television, and Broadway
Some of the television programs do not air in Hawai'i at this time, but they may air elsewhere. Also, I'm not entirely certain if the anime is actually anime or not. E-mail me if you know for certain.
Actors
- Movie, Male: Kenneth Branagh--I think he rules as Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing.
- Movie, Female: Emma Thompson--"She were an excellent wife for Benedick [Branagh]." (Much Ado About Nothing, Act II.I)
- Television, Male: Eric Braeden--irreplaceable Victor Newman of The Young and the Restless.
- Television, Younger Male: Jensen Ackles and Bryan Datillo--Eric Brady's arrival in Salem helped Lucas Roberts turn over a new leaf (sort of) on Days of Our Lives' younger set.
- Television, Female: Diedre Hall and Susan Lucci--Marlena Evans with her glorious eyes and noble heart on Days of Our Lives competes with Erica Kane's flawless skin and maternal devotion on All My Children.
- Television, Younger Female: Melissa Joan Hart--Sabrina, the Teenage Witch has a "witchiness" about her.
- Television Miniseries, Male & Female: Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth--Miss Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy were brought to life, real life, in A&E's oustanding presentation of Pride and Prejudice. I'd like to buy the videos, but it's out of my budget right now.
- Inhuman Hero: Godzilla; Mighty Joe Young--Mighty monsters who save the day: who knew?
- Absolute Favorite: Angela Lansbury--I'd really like to see a new Murder, She Wrote movie.

Books and Authors
For the sake of classification, a solo book stands alone, a sequence is a set of connected, inter-related books usually written by the same author(s), and a series consists of books that can stand by themselves often written by many different authors. There are some exceptions to these definitions, however.
Books
- Drama: Much Ado About Nothing (William Shakespeare)
- Fantasy, Solo: Emerald House Rising (Peg Kerr)
- Fantasy, Sequence: The Tamuli (David Eddings)
- Fantasy, Series: Dragonlance
- Horror, Solo: Relic (Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child)
- Horror, Sequence: Night World (L.J. Smith)
- Horror, Series: Ravenloft
- Mystery, Solo: The List of 7 (by Mark Frost)
- Mystery, Series (adult): Murder, She Wrote (Jessica Fletcher & Donald Bain)
- Mystery, Series (young adult): Nancy Drew-Hardy Boys Super Mysteries (Carolyn Keene)
- Sci-fi, Solo: Remnant Population (Elizabeth Moon)
- Sci-fi, Sequence: Robotech (Jack McKinney); The Foreigner Universe trilogy (C.J. Cherryh)
- Sci-fi, Series: Star Trek (various series); Star Wars
Authors
- Fantasy: David Eddings' The Belgariad, The Mallorean, The Elenium, and The Tamuli series made for enjoyable reading, as did Belgarath the Sorcerer. Now I'm counting the days until I can buy Polgara the Sorceress in paperback.
- Horror: Brian Lumley's Necroscope series always sends chills down my spine.
- Sci-fi: Anne McCaffrey is the grande dame of science fiction in my book.
