All this NaNo writing is turning my brain to mush, and it’s high time for some F-U-N!
Rachel Bell from KIRO radio was talking this week about movie stars and somehow the conversation took a fun little side track. She said if her life was a movie, she’d pick Julia Louis-Dreyfus to play her. (There’s a definite resemblance alright!)

That got my wheels turning…If my life was a movie, who would play me?
I thought about my journey and who could portray that well. I’d definitely want someone spunky, and they couldn’t be too glamorous – I need a little believability factor here! Hillary Swank came to mind right away. (She’d have to put on a few pounds, though!) She’s kinda got the ‘girl next door’ look and I like that!

Judi Densch. I love her toughness and vulnerability as an actress. Fun question, good luck with the writing brave you!!!

Great question! I’d probably choose Drew Barrymore. She has a wonderful sense of humor. I wouldn’t say mine is as great as hers, but I do take things in stride and use humor to deal with almost all of life’s challenges — and there are many! 🙂

That is a tough one for me, because I don’t know any actresses. The only actors/actresses I know are from way back in the early-mid 1900s. Firstly, she’d have to have flaming red hair, so Maureen O’Hara or Arlene Dahl come to mind, but they are waaaaaaaay too glamorous.
A title? My life story is titled “No One Loves Me: No One Cares” but that really only covers the first 22 years of my life. Now, at 76 years old, the title would have to be “BUT GOD. . .”

Loved all Hillary Swank’s movies…Especially ‘Freedom writers’.

The first person that came to mind was Kathy Bates – I admire her characters she has played and she is beautiful without being glamorous. Ummm the title?? I guess “The American Woman”. It will have a hint of suspense and mystery, romance and comedy. Good question you got me thinking this late at night. 🙂 Patty

I’m not going to aim very high here – I’d be looking for someone plain so I’d probably get Angelina Jolie to play me (LOL!) 😀

My brother and I have asked each other this question over the years. Funny how the answer changes based on how we see ourselves at the time and how we want others to see us. I’d want to pick someone who is smart, witty, tough (kick-butt-take-no-bs-type), but also soft, attractive … on and on. And yes, the kick butt, witty and probably a few of those other characteristics are more about what I want/hope others see 🙂 I think Rosario Dawson would be a good pick for me.

Interesting question! I have no idea who could play me in a movie – maybe Katherine Hepburn? I’ll have to think about this one for a bit. 🙂

Audrey Hepburn. Why? Because I want people to think I have her grace and elegance. That’ll fool ’em.
