[Eva]

[Madeline]

I always pictured Alaska as a bleach blonde girl with beachy messy locks. I kinda created her in my mind I guess haha.

[Rylie]

Kaya Scodelario!

[Patricia]

Chloe Grace Moretz

i imagined Kristen stewart as Alaska, but i wouldnt really want her to be cast as Alaska if there was a movie. Now that i think about it, Dakota Fanning (like a lot of people said) would be good to.

Yeah, same with me; i imagined Alaska looking like Kristen Stewart, but I would rather have Dakota fanning cast as her, if there was a movie

[Sarah]

Imogen Poots without a doubt! I am shocked that some of you pictured her as amy lee and Kaya scolablahbah and Wionna Ryder.. thats so funny.

i imagined myself :(

[Alec]

I actually imagine Laci Green, the you tuber, except with different hair. Their personalities are very similar and they have the same body type.

I don´t get it, really, why is so much about people fancasting Kaya SCODELARIO as Alaska? A LOT of fans have been fancasting her, not only in here; I would say that her name is one of the most spoken by the readers...Besides, alaska ISN´T blond, unlike imogem.

[Tara]

I'm not sure why I picked this, because in the book alaska has dark hair, but I picture her as Holly Henry (she was on the voice) the entire time.

[Charry]

WILLA HOLLAND! most def! character and the looks, perfect!

[Esh]

Liana Liberato.. ( to play KIM in gayle forman's IF I StaY with Chloe grace morets as Mia)

[Esh]

she is tall, pretty, smart.. not too shy, not too wild.. i watched "Stuck in love" recently and the girl plays Kate reminded ne of Alaska in some way..

[[deleted user]]

I pictured her as like a really hot tom-boy, but not as anyone in particular... just my imagination of her.

I COULD AGREE. but i think there could be other options to it but i like your idea, i like this girls face, reminds of og AY for sure. but i dont think AY would have blonde hair, i say more like brown

Kaya scodelario or kat dennings.

[Jon]

Wait, didn't it say somewhere in the book that Alaska was blonde, or did I just always imagine her that way?? Hahaha It's been a while, I may have to re-read it! But I have to say I agree with the Amber Heard/Blake Lively comparisons, and for some reason I'm leaning more towards Blake.

I agree, the worst two choices for such a role.

She is way too old to play a teenager lol

[Richard]

My top choices would be Ellen Page or the actress from skins who played Effy( to lazy to spell her name).

[KellAYE]

Not quite sure how old Margot Robbie is, but sometimes her expressions remind me of Alaska a bit. It Candice Accola.

[Chriselle]

I've always imagined she's had red hair…

[Czar]

I imagined the girl who played Beth from the Walking Dead.

[Angeline]

I was imagining Rachel Bilson as her. :)

[Paul]

I thought she was a dirty blond? If so, I think Rosamund Pike would fit the bill.

[Bonia]

amber heard

Good one!!! She might be pretty good!!

[Aishwarya]

I think Ellen Page would be perfect!

[Angelica]

Honestly when I was reading it, I imagine her like Anna Kendrick or Emma Stone, yes. No disowning me please. I know, I know, it's ridiculous.

[Mikayla]

I agree Emma Stone is the way to go with this.

[Sara]

Dakota or Elle Fanning, or someone who looks similar to them. I don't imagine Diana Agron at all because her she seems too old.

I totally agree. I hadn't pictured anyone as Alaska when I read the book, but when I saw a picture of her, I thought she would be perfect.

[Michael]

emma roberts. obviously.

I kind of got that vibe too!

I get that. Del Rey has that sort of dark beauty

That would work well considering Page usually plays pretty messed up characters.

[India]

Carrie wrote: "Emma Stone all the way."

YES!

[Macy]

While reading the book, I never pictured Alaska as a person. Not because of lack of description, but because of the emphasis John Green put on her personality and how dramatic her presance is. The way I pictured her, you can't put a face on a girl like that

[Kirstyn]

Why do I get the feeling most of these are going to be suggestions for people much too old for the role.

[Kayla]

Blake Lively.

[Anne]

Hm, I always pictured Sarah Hyland; she has the green eyes and she's short but curvy, and she has the really bubbly personality.

And as for the film, last I heard Paramount bought the rights but they don't intend to make a movie out of it.

[Sammy]

The character always reminded me of Ariel from the Original Footloose movie - probably because I found them both incessantly annoying. I must admit there is huge similarities in their characters

[Angharad]

I saw her as Adelaide Kane.

[Lina]

I found it hard to picture Alaska. I just imagine her to be really, really pretty, but in an unconventional way. I don't have anyone in mind yet. :)
