Amy Winehouse is 'Ultimate Heroine' for under 25s

Washington, Apr 24 : She might be struggling with her habit of drugs, but Amy Winehouse sure has made her place in the hearts of the youngsters, topping a poll of ultimate heroines.

The Back To Black songstress was voted into the number one spot by people below the age of 25.

Other celebrities who made it onto the list included footballer Wayne Rooney's fiancee Coleen Mcloughlin, while singer Pete Doherty topped the hero poll.

Amy also proved popular with older fans, coming second to Princess Diana in Sky.com's poll of the general population.

"The results show that what society defines as a 'hero' and a 'heroine' seems to differ greatly," Contactmusic quoted Psychologist Donna Dawson, as saying.

"The majority of the top ten women chosen, such as Diana, Princess of Wales and Amy Winehouse, seem to portray a certain sense of vulnerability or have had to fight against some adversity in their lives," Dawson added.
