This past weekend I was rushing to and from my car to feed the meter and on my way back, to a rehearsal I was late for, I got stopped by two preteen girls who asked for my autograph. They were very giggly.
Girl 1: Excuse me, could we get your autograph?
Me: (completely confused) Who do you think I am?
Girl 2: I told you it wasn't her!
Girl 1: Oh my God, I am so embarrassed!
They run away.
Me: Wait! Stop! Who did you think I was?!
They kept running, and I was late, so I never got to find out who they thought I was. When I was young, people told me I looked like Melissa Gilbert. As an adult I have gotten the following:
1. Sharon Stone (when I was blonde)
2. Jullianne Moore
3. Catherine Keener
and, this past weekend, from one of the actresses at rehearsal I told about my mistaken identity moment...
4. Nicole Kidman
Does anyone else out there get compared to famous folk? This inquiring mind wants to know.

I love this story.
I usually get "You look like..." from guys who are trying to sweet talk me for various reasons so I have to take them with a grain of salt. I got Kate Hudson under those circumstances. I got Fiona Apple from someone with fewer ulterior motives. And recently someone said another "You look like..." that I can't remember for the life of me and it's really bothering me now.
On a local level - I have been told that I look like Lee Mikeska Garder, and that Colin Hovde and I look like we could be cousins.
no, none, ever.
SAS - I can totally see the Fiona Apple thing, except you smile.
Adam - You are one of a kind.
