I had always thought that Terri Garr, in her earlier years, would have been perfect for me.

I think Steve Buscemi is great. He's so "real", if that doesn't sound too weird - he's fascinating to watch and now he's moved in to directing as well.

Teri Garr is adorable, so now everytime I see her I'll think of you Lisa!

Who would play me? I used to be told when I was a kid that I looked like Tatum O'Neal or vice versa but I don't know how I feel about her playing me.

I, too, think Steve Buscemi is a great actor. It would be nice to see him in a leading role.

As for who would play me? I'm still thinking about that. Perhaps me?

If Drew Barrymore took a course named 'How To Seem More Like Sally Field' I think we'd have a match.

There would have to be some serious genetic engineering/DNA splicing to make it happen, but a combination of Wilford Brimley and Roddy McDowall would perfectly capture the true me. The supercilious attitude, the tartness, the ever-ready acerbic remark - perfectly encapsulated in the two and yours truly to a T.

Tracey, when I was a teenager I was told I looked like Suzi Quatro.

Gotta be Rene` Russo. I've been hearing for years, ever since "Major League" and even moreso and leading right up to "The Thomas Crown Affair" that not only do I look just like her (I don't think I do, other than her hair -- she's much more Pre-Raphaelite than I am,) but that I act and sound and dress just like her (okay, that I can see.) I love Rene`, but I think, like Julia Roberts, that she just plays herself in every film she's in, so acting may have nothing to do with it. I wish I had her height, but I think she's got about 6 inches on me, since she used to model.

I think maybe I should play HER if there is ever a bio done on her! I'll just have to stand on a box, since I think she might be right around 6 feet tall!

But if I couldn't have Rene`, I'd want Lucille Ball or Madeline Kahn, two of the funniest women ever. Have you ever tried to do the "Vitameatavegamin" skit? It's impossible! (And yes, I've tried it! "For happy, peppy people!")

Bryan Brown, because I look like him and I can't act either.

Johnny Depp. He's a great actor and can play just about anyone...no one said they had to look like me or have my mannerisms.

Ma Kettle I guess. Oh, that would be Marjorie Main wouldn't it? Some days I feel like I actually did "fall off the turnip truck yesterday!"

For me, I'm going with Forrest Whittaker. He'd probably make the best me that there is. Queen Latifah would play my wife.
