- Movie stars
- Characters from other books

Okay, back to reality.
If and when you choose a living/breathing person as one of your new characters, don't go all creepy-stalker on them. Let them know ahead of time, so that when you are watching their mannerisms, you don't freak out your subject. More often than not, they'll be honored that you've chosen them to be the model for your new character.
Even if you're not currently in the picking-new-characters stage, if you see an interesting and/or beautiful face, start a file and keep it there (either on-line or physical). Next time you are crafting a fresh story, you'll have a head-start.

I've used friends at church, with permission, even using their names and personalities. Of course, they read what I wrote and approved it. :)
There is one lady in my church who is a prayer warrior and I use her all the time. We're celebrating her 100th birthday this coming week.
Another man shows up in each of my books. He's someone who has been an inspiration to me for years.
So yeah, we can find characters anywhere. I've also been watching a gal at my local Starbucks who'd make a great character. Oh, and I have to admit, I think I can see Jennifer Arocha as Johanna. :)
She is just lovely! And we won't mention our stalkiness of Thor over on Pinterest. We just can't help following those Viking dudes...
That's right, Ane. I forgot about coffee shops. That's a gold mine!
I hear ya, Heather. Thor. Wow. It IS hot in here.
