Thanks for stopping by and sharing that info- I'm thinking about doing a little play with all these characters and we didn't have a Demi yet! How're you doing anyway? (I'll
you tomorrow)

Nan-
What a great question- I have been told that I resemble Demi Moore- and I suppose in some of her roles I identify with her. But as far as acompletely identify with??? I guess I am at a loss

Nan--- Good question. Honestly, I don't know. I've been told that I look
like John Ritter and one of the Bridges' boys (don't remember which one).

Oh Nana, no one dares! He is quite a poop, really... but, last week we were
at my in laws and my 10 year old said to Grandma, "Why does Uncle Don look like Uncle Fester?"... It was hilarious! We all just looked at each other, this is his "mother", she then asked Shawn what about him looked like Fester and Shawn big as life said, "His head!"... Hahahaha! OMG, it was hilarious, even Grandma was busting up. But, no we don't call him that, he would act like a child!

That's OK- I'll just write you into my play as the mystery character!
You could be the voice behind the fence or something cool like that.

Nana...
Honestly, I can't answer this rhetorical question because of a few things. Number one, I don't idolize film or television stars and I don't really compare myself to any of them or the characters they portray. Number two, I've actually worked in television and have played some roles in a few television dramas outside of the US. But most importantly, I guess I can't answer because I don't really see myself in too many of the actors. I mean, who would want to admit to being Homer Simpson? Uncle Fester? Or Marlon Brando in his old age?

Jack Nicholson always makes me laugh, I've often identified with
his emotionally aloof antics. I'd love to say Richard Gere, I think he's got a good aura about him.

Nanaroo,
This is a really good one. I really like the Elizabeth Bennett character, played by Greer Garson in the 40's version of Pride and Prejudice, independent, but vulnerable, and makes loads of mistakes with men. Hopefully, I'd have the fairy tale ending, though. More recently, maybe I'd be the Stella character, played by Angela Bassett. Fiercly independent, but has a vulnerable side, too. I wouldn't choose that ending, though. Plus, I think Angela Bassett is beautiful. :)

this is a really tough question....
I've always sort of related to the character of Joey Potter from the show Dawson's Creek (played by Katie Holmes, but she's much taller than me and has gotten a little weird lately... ). Her character was a tomboy thing, lost a parent, had a huge wall up... and I also had both a Dawson and a Pacey... and still sort of do! (you'd have to know the show to understand....)

Nanaroo,
I liked Shirley MacLaine before she went off the deep end with the astral projection stuff and reincarnation. Not that I don't believe it's possible, I just remember watching her in her movie, "Out On A Limb" or something, sitting in a hot tub in Peru having an out of body experience on her first trip, and I thought, "There are people who meditate for years before they experience something like that"., rather than just a day trip to Peru.
However, she's still a great actress, in things like "Sweet Charity" and "The Apartment" with Jack Lemmon. She's quirky and I'm definitely that.

Okay, I've given it some thought ...
plus consulted with my friends and family ... and here's the two we came up with:
1. Carmen Sternwood (Martha Vickers in "The Big Sleep")
2. Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman in "Pulp Fiction")
Though personally, I see myself more as Linda Fiorentino's character in "The Last Seduction".
I want to be the girl with the most cake.
I fake it so real, I am beyond fake.

Nanaroo,
I've been told that I look like Shirley MacLaine (in her younger years). Kathleen Turner did a great job in Body Heat. I can't believe that she didn't get a screen credit for doing the voice of Jessica Rabbit in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", but there's no mistaking That Voice.

People have always compared me with Cher. I guess because of my long black hair but they say it is also the outrageous way I used to dress....yes similar to Cher... and my wild personality. I do admire Cher so I was never insulted. Now my husband on the other hand resembles Michael Douglas...looks and personality! Very cute post Angel!

Nana, in all honesty, I think that I would like to play Barbra Streisand if
her story were ever put on the big screen. I have enough physical similarities and love to sing with her music. As for who I identify with the most, I really don't know... it is a good question, though!
