I loved her, too. I would pick her, but already picked someone else. Doris Day would be more like me, I think.

Silly girl! That was Vivien Leigh! And I love her so much. She was a classic beauty and played Scarlett perfectly.

Reese Witherspoon for me. Definately a spunky Southern girl! We don't have the same nose, though. Or body, for that matter! As a teen, I resembled Brooke Sheilds, I guess. I heard that a lot. But I was blond. No jokes, now! She is more my height, but her personality is more like my SIL.

Betty White for me. Not a look alike but ageless.

Kathy Bates it would be.

it would have to be angelica huston...

Kathern Hepburn. My life hasn't been just exactly a "bed of roses" so think she could handle it.
Rita

[quote=gollytwo]Bea Arthur, except she's dead.[/quote

Bea Arthur...even dead she could play me...what an actress!

It would depend on which part of my life the movie covered. I was often told I looked like Debbie Reynolds. Good enough for me!! :-D :-D

Lauren Bacall

If we can pick any movie star, then I would like Norma Shearer.

I, too, love Kathy Bates but I think Sigourney Weaver should play me. But my hair is a brighter red.

Nancy McKean - she's good at playing real people!

In my dreams I look like Julia Roberts, but I think I would have to pick Julie Andrews. But she will have to gain some weight!

For me I'm thinking Kate Winslet...

Depends on what stage of my life...I used to look like Natalie Wood when I was young (same ethnic background anyway) but now look like Brenda Fricker.

that's who I was gonna choose!

Cloris Leachman is one that comes to mind for the older me. For the younger me it would be Angelina Jolie of course! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Amy Madigan - I actually said to a teacher once "At least he is not a book burner, you Nazi cow" (Field of Dreams)...my kids said I looked and sounded just like her when I did it!

Tyne Daly or Kathy Bates. Or Katherine Hepburn

I'd pick Barbara Stanwyck. Classy but tough with a good heart. Either her or June Allyson.

Phyliis Diller fits the profile pretty well for me! LOL! Just kidding.

All my life, I was told I was "cute and spunky" so I guess Valerie Bertinelli would be best, but she needs to go blonde and gain all that weight back.

Roseanne Barr. She is my role model :D

Either/or for me also. Older, gray'er, both fantastic!!!!!! I love both these women!!!!! :-D :wink:

Okay, I would love for Sophia Loren to play me, but I am sure my DH would like Peggy Fleming for the part. She is his fantasy!!!

I would like Sandra Bulluck. Maybe on screen I could have the beauty that I didn't get in real life.LOL She would have to be aged pretty far though.

Ditter, you still look like Debbie Reynolds. At lease to me. Does anyone else see the resemblance?

I think Lanie Kazan, from the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" could do a neat job of playing me in my story. Thanks for bringing this thought to me, it's cool to think about. ;-)

Nichole Kidman or Sandra Bullock ;-)

I never thought of this, but I would have to say Kathy Bates too. I liked her from the first time I saw her in a movie.

Roseanne Barr Arnold or whatever her name is now. I am a domestic goddess. We even look alike if I put on too much make up. :D

Dylan Moran in drag.....

Do you think Pamela Anderson quilts? Well I'm sure my Husband wouldn't mind of she played me, but in reality I'm probably more along the lines of a made for tv movie starring Ricki Lake. ;)

When I was younger it would be "HOT LIPS HOOLIHAN" from MASH, now, Kathy Bates.

dmackey,
Please, who is that adorable baby in your Avatar?

Betty White. I'm not as old as her but I like the characters she has played and I admire the causes she had taken under her wing. Great lady, love her in Hot In Cleveland. Also love Katy Bates in Harry's Law. Anyone see that show yet?

Oh, I would definitely want Betty White. Of course, Doris Roberts might fit in well too. I love them both.

farrah fawcet---(sp)--

In my younger years, it would be Sandra Bullock---I was a goody two shoes and very respectful to adults. In my later years, Debbie Reynolds although I wish I had the tenasity of Shirley McClain or Lucille Ball.

Janine Garaffalo. We're about the same size, age, weight, mannerisms, and sense of humor.

That would be my first grandchild at 3 months old. Is that not the cutest little wicked grin? I think she is goiing to be a prankster like her daddy (my son). She is a very happy little girl who lives way too far away for this granny to see her often, but I'm hoping to close that gap soon!

Thanks so much for asking! I love to talk about that little beauty.

Diane

Ashley Judd -- a Kentucky girl with a lot of "grit". ;-)
