12) Mia Dolan (La La Land, 2016)

Mia Dolan’s entire life revolves around chasing a dream that constantly slips away. She auditions endlessly, faces rejection after rejection, and keeps pushing forward even when nothing works. She pours herself into her one-woman show, betting everything on the chance that someone will notice. Her determination with making it as an actress takes over La La Land, making everything else feel secondary. Her final success comes at a cost, but she never lets go of what she wants.
