Do comic books count? Karen Page from Dare Devil (before the drugs)
Della Street from Perry Mason - am I that old?
Chloe from 24 - she rocks - not quite sure she's an admin! I can download anything to a PDA!

I love the Josh Lyman, Donna Moss relationship from the West Wing. Also love Roz from Monsters Inc - she's terrifying!

Atlanta,
Perry Mason still often shows on UK TV stations frequently. Della Street is just perfect. As is Miss Moneypenny, naturally.

After I posted I kicked myself for not thinking of the Bond secretary - but then I had a blond moment and couldn't remember her name! And isn't it interesting that no mentioned Ugly Betty. What about Miss Hathaway from the Beverly Hillbillies (also Lily Tomlin in the movie)

My all time favorite was definitely Delores Landingham...executive assistant to the President in West Wing. She's the EA that I aspire to be. Totally unflappable, totally loyal, always on top of everything, always respectful yet not taking any guff even from the President.
I was always sorry they killed her off. She was a great character.

I just had to add one more - Janie from The American President (it was on last night) I just love it when she tells Michael J. Fox "I'm not at liberty to say."

And, of course, The American President was written by Aaron Sorkin, who wrote West Wing.

I also like Janie from The American President. My favorite line is when the President says, "I should send her some flowers." Janie's response, "You already did, sir." Classic!
