I think this is a topic up for debate. I remember during IDA everyone I know had a different understanding of who Nancy was- some said she was sassy like Sam, some said Jodie epitomised her, and some said she was fragile like Niamh.
Without using any of our girls, describe your perfect Dorothy. Looks, personality etc. And I don't mean an actress, I mean who you think the character is.
I'm undecided. Everyone I know just says "Judy Garland" when asked this question..

A certain joie de vivre is necessary (which is why I'm not sure Sophie is right even though I love her.)
Out of the girls I think Stephanie is probably the closest to that (minus Red Lippy though)
clear typo.
I agree about Stephanie - who says Dorothy couldn't have had a lisp when singing? As for the lippy, it is pretty heavy but she is on TV

I don't know how to do that
But thank you for being rude
Skinny but at the same time strong.
Not afraid to get her hands dirty or mess up her clothes.
Innocent, trusting but with a steel backbone.
Full of bravado but obviously afraid.
Cheeky but caring.
Wide eyed but smart
The open mouthed expression Judy played her as is spot on, slight bewilderment.
I have a tendency to just focus on Judy Garland when everyone asks who my perfect Dorothy is. I can't imagine her being anyone else! I'm trying to broaden my ideas though, or else I'll never be able to go see it in the West End
All the more reason to go easy. Her make up would be fine if she was in the theatre but not for TV close ups.
I think Dorothy needs to have a childlike quality ie the ability to show the wonderment and honesty of a child in a strange and mystical land. She needs also to show determination, courage, intelligence to find her way home and kindness towards others who she helps on the way.
I'd like to see a bit more more of the acting abilities of these girls. It's difficult to judge when they're dressed in skimpy clothes in full make up and singing (mostly) pop songs.
Don't really know now that I think about it, it's hard not to imagine some of the girls.
I doubt if Judy would have made the last 20 today. Can you imagine poor Judy trying to do the rubbish pop songs that these girls are given like 'the boy does nothing' etc.
The only girl left that comes anyway close to Judy is Emilie.
