#3 Alice
You probably guessed it—the curious girl from Wonderland. Alice, created by the brilliant author Lewis Carroll in the 19th century, remains one of literature’s most enduring heroines. Her adventurous spirit and boundless imagination have inspired countless retellings, both on stage and on screen, making her a timeless figure in popular culture.
Alice first appeared in cinema as early as 1903 in a silent film by Cecil Hepworth, with May Clark playing the lead. But it was Disney’s 1951 animated classic that etched her image firmly into the hearts of audiences worldwide. Since then, she has been reimagined in numerous live-action films, most notably Tim Burton’s 2010 version starring Mia Wasikowska, ensuring that Alice’s journey through Wonderland continues to captivate new generations.
