Who did you imagine as Alaska Young?

[Sri]

The only face that pops up in my mind is Emma Roberts!

[Maddison]

Aimee kelly

[Maddison]

Miles teller as Miles

[Esh]

Chloe Grace morets or Danielle Campbell (Davina in The Originals) seems good to me

[Maddison]

Danielle sounds good but I question if chole is too sweet.

[Marisa]

this is so weird, but there was this girl on ''the voice'' named Juliet Sims and I don't know why I always imagined Alaka to be like her

Okay this reply gets an A*

[Cerys]

I think that Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Watson all look too innocent for the role of Alaska. It would be best suited to someone who would look the part.
I think I would choose Emma Roberts or Ashley Benson or someone like that

[Anne]

Idk, I'd still say Sarah Hyland. She's short with curves and she has the bubbly personality, and also the brown hair, bright green eyes, and high cheekbones.

[Jared]

I would have loved to see willa holland (actor of thea queen from the TV show arrow) I just see it in her

[Jared]

Quick Casting Choices
Pudge : Logan Lerman (Perks Of Being A Wallflower, Percy Jackson)
Alaska : Willa Holland (Arrow, The O.C.)
The Colonel : Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games, Bridge To Terabithia)
Takumi : Booboo Stewart (Twilight, Eww)
Lara Idk tell me one ! :)

[Novie Chryss]

It's always Chloe Moretz for me as Alaska Young.

[Anne]

Chloe Moretz is really pretty, but I just think she's kind of a dark pretty, whereas Alaska is a bombshell.

[Isabella_gv]

Kaya Scodelario was made to be this character, i think half of you got it (she´s clearly the most talked name)
Teresa palmer and Emma stone are good as well but too old.(And come on guys, Emma roberts? realy? you can do better)

amber heard

[Hannah]

i cannot picture anyone but emma watson as ay

[Alana]

Elizabeth wrote: "Elisha Cuthbert"

I agree!

[Amelia]

Alexandra Daddario. She's Annabeth Chase in the Percy Jackson movie.

[Amelia]

Emily Clarke

[Divergent]

I imagined her as Felice Fawn for some reason.

[Maia]

While I was reading this book. I definitely pictured Becky from "What's Eating Gilbert Grape". The description and overall aura of them just seemed to fit together

[Amelia]

I imagined her as Annabeth Chase from Percy Jackson

[Michelle]

Emma Watson

[Michelle]

or Alexandra Daddario

[Claudia]

I picture Amber Heard or Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood)

[Hanna]

I know that she is supposed to be curvy with mahogany hair, but while I was reading I kept picturing Gabriella Wilde. She has this mystery in her eyes that is described so clearly in the book. "But even in the dark, I could see her eyes--fierce emeralds. She had the kind of eyes that predisposed you to supporting her every endeavor."

perfec.t couldn't agree more.

[Sydney]

I actually originally picture Elizabeth Gillies, from "Victorious." SHe's very talented- she's been on broadway before. I think she'd be able to capture the enigmatic nature of Alaska and the darker elements that come with her character.

[ｉｓａｂｅｌ]

Kaya Scodelario omg

[Carwina Joy]

definitely emma watson

[Reempi]

I didn't really put a face to her character when I read the book. In all honesty, I never do. But since the subject of doing a movie on it has been upheld, my post-read-the-book-state-of-imagination says someone like Amanda Seyfried could be considered for her role. She has a tremendous potential in playing practically ANY kind of role that demands a young disturbed adult that has major issues in her life yet never hesitates to get back up. The role of Alaska asks for an intense girl with a tad loud mouth who talks really fast, can manage to look both edgy and beautiful according to requisite scenarios, can smoke a cigarette and still smell flawless, stir any guy to do what she wants with her puppy-dog eyes (or puppy-bitch smile, for that matter) yet not the kind to cheat on the one she's committed to, to be with an irrestibly nerdy guy like Miles (Aw, Pudge) even though they share the same likes/dislikes and are almost irrevocably meant to be together. Sigh. Seyfried's the girl. I'm okay with any guy who plays Miles just as long as he's nerdy and really skinny. I'm good with the first day first show. :)

YES!"

I so agree with you. I said the exact same thing in my comment too. I don't think Alaska was characterised by John Green more based on her personality than what she's supposed to look like. In most romantic books that involves a girl and a boy, the protagonist usually plots a pretty definitive and deducive image of what the significant other. You know, "her auburn hair, green eyes" and all that. But John Green doesn't want Miles to be that guy. He's more of a, "Oh, she's hot" kinda guy. The only thing we definitely know about her is that she seemed extremely hot to Miles but that was not even close to why he always loved her.

It describes her pretty vividly; emerald eyes, high cheekbones, full lips, long and wavy brown hair, short, and curvy. I could find you quotes, but it might take a while.

[Hanna]

Hannah Murray. She plays Cassie on Skins UK. She has that aura of beauty and damage. It's perfect.

[Sara]

@Hannah: I also imagined Alaska to be a blonde, but I didn't imagine her to be so frail. Although she was described as damaged, she was also described as being confident. I don't see that at all in Hannah Murray. On skins she was really anxious and sort of awkward completely the opposite of how I imagined Alaska.

[Ana]

I always kinda imagined Alaska as Jennifer Lawrence but with long hair.

[Nathan]

I don't know how people imagine her with blonde hair >.<
She always had black hair in my mind.

[Anne]

If only Scarlet Johansen was younger...She would be amazing...

[[deleted user]]

Call me wired but I think it's Miley Cyrus. She is totally inappropriate (Alaska) and she is confident about herself (Alaska).

[Amelia]

I imagine Alexandra Diddario as Alaska Young

[Madison-Jayne]

I imagined Alaska Young to be Blake Lively, she'd be perfect for the role!

Or Emma stone with her blonde hair.

[[deleted user]]

I don't really project other people's faces onto characters when I read, so I'm not sure. I think I just imagined her as she is described, reddish-brown hair, green eyes, maybe a few freckles (but not unattractive ones), and, well, "curvy." She's stunningly gorgeous, but not in a supermodel way. She's just beautiful because of her confidence. I can't think of anyone who looks like that!

[Paola]

DEFINITELY ALEXANDRA DADDARIO AND I REALLY LIKE CHLOE MORTEZ SHE HAS THAT ALASKA VIBE

[Cormier]

I think thought of NO ONE other than Kaya playing Alaska...mostly because of her BRILIANCE in the character Effy in skins...idk when reading the book I felt that Effy and Alaska were alike in soo many ways.
Just that feeling of not caring yet caring so much.
And that feeling of grunge and living day by day.
...but that'sy opinion

Actually, me too. Wouldn't want MC to play her in a movie though.

[John-Alan]

Not necessarily how I pictured Alaska when I read the book, but I really like this brief adaptation with Mary-Kate Wiles:

[Lindsay]

This is really embarrassing and I shouldn't admit this, but for some reason I pictured Hailey Reinhart from American Idol a few seasons ago lol. Whenever I read a book where the characters are 15 or 16, I always picture them a lot older than what a normal 16 year old should look. It's hard for me to relate otherwise.

[Richard]

The truth is I imagined her as the girl I hate in my high school.

[Anne]

I never had an actual person in mind, but I always imagined her with dirty blonde/light brown hair and freckles. Also with a slight country accent (since she says "ya'll" on multiple occasions).

[Bianca (readerbia on BookTok)]

No doubt Kaya Scodelario!
