I'm sorry but movie characters are just mainly for entertainment. Sure they can have some value as a role model, but *real* human beings are far better role models. 

The equivalent in real life would be Christina Hoff Sommers

Christina Marie Hoff Sommers is an American author, former philosophy professor, and resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. Sommers is known for her critique of contemporary feminism.

She is the real deal in rational feminism: she does not want a gender war or a world of safe places and sweet lies, she wants a world where people can REALLY live alongside with different opinions and get stronger by facing their fears, not by running into their safe spaces and suying everyone.

No, I would say Oprah Winfrey is the better example. She is someone who grew up in abject poverty, was raped multiple times at the age of 9 extending into her teens, miscarried a baby at age 14 due to being raped, climbed the ladder of the TV news business and become one of the most wealthy and influential people on the planet. And she did that also without the benefit of traditional beauty. 

That is a real example of someone becoming a success actually have gone through real struggle, that would break even most men.
