Icon lemming

[valarltd]

From Everyone:

I love looking at people's icons, but I don't always *get* them - I often wonder stuff like, "Who's that guy?" or "Where's that quote from?" but I tend not to ask, for various reasons. So come on, here are my icons. Pick one (or more!) you're curious about, and I'll try to explain it. Or at least explain what I like about it.

Would you please give some background on the Role Model icon?

That's Debbie Novotny from "Queer as Folk." She's played by Sharon Gless, and is "larger than life with a mouth to match."

She is Michael's mom, and unofficial den mother to the pack of lost boys that cluster around Michael and Brian.

She is my role model (except I hope to do better than head waitress in a gay diner) in that she loves fiercely and freely, cares for anyone who comes into her orbit and is not afraid to tell any of "her boys" when they are behaving badly. She's what I want to be as a parent and as a person.
