If they made a movie…
of my life, who would play me?
V’s Herbie asked the question. Her answer?
So in an effort to distract myself from sitting here banging my head into the computer monitor in absolute disgust with the foster care system, I’m going to open this up for a contest.
Name the celebrity who should play me in the movie of my life.
Leave your answer in the comments. I’ll randomly pick two winners to receive two packs of KidsLunchBoxCards. These are nifty little postcard looking things that you can send in your kiddos lunch box that are neater looking than a scribbled napkin note. They have interesting facts, riddles, gross stories, weird laws…all sorts of things kids would like to read about. And a big space on the back for you to write your own personal message.
If you know what I look like in real life, you are not eligible to play!

Chyler Leigh (Meredith’s sister on Grey’s)
OR
Catherine Bell (Army Wives)
OR
Sally Pressman (Army Wives)
I don’t have kiddos (Not yet)… so if I am even close, give it to someone else.

*lurker delurking*
Honestly? I’ve always pictured you as a Claire Danes look alike for some reason. But I can also see you as Catharine Bell!
Love your blog.

I think you look like my sister-in-law’s sister, who looks a lot like a petite Sandra Bullock.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Ellen Pompeo
August 13th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
I second the vote for Julianne Nicholson. I can see her saying “Ladytown” with a straight face.
August 13th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
I think Rachel McAdams
August 13th, 2008 at 9:50 pm
Katherine Heigl (although I picture you more petite).
August 13th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
I don’t really know much about celebrities.. but just seeing what you’ve survived.. Angelina Jolie
.. The two of you have a LOT in common.
August 13th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
Rosario Dawson. Mimi… without all the drugs and HIV and stuff.
August 13th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Kate Bosworth
August 13th, 2008 at 10:45 pm
I immediately thought of Sally Pressman from Army Wives, but I see that someone already beat me to it. But I second the vote then. She is exactly who I think of when I think of you.
August 14th, 2008 at 6:14 am
I think of you as being very Michelle Pfeiffer.
August 14th, 2008 at 6:16 am
For me it would be Natalie Imbruglia
August 14th, 2008 at 7:33 am
Jennifer Aniston. Strong, fit, beautiful, and most of all Classy.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:42 am
Most of the actresses who could do it are too freaking old - which says a lot for you, baggage. How about Scarlett Johansson? Jena Malone?
August 14th, 2008 at 9:06 am
That’s a hard one because I have no idea what you look like other than the descriptions you’ve given here. I am going to go with Winona Ryder. I just love her and she’s all pixie-like but powerful and that’s how I picture you (of course without the shoplifting craziness!!! he he).
August 14th, 2008 at 9:36 am
Reese Witherspoon with brown hair, like in “Walk the Line”. Has to be her.
August 14th, 2008 at 9:52 am
I actually know what you look like, so for me, the answer would be Ellen Page from Juno. She is only 21, but people think you are younger than that. And I think she has the right mix of tough vulnerability to play you. Of the other suggestions, I could see Jena Malone.
Oh, maybe Amber Tamblyn, from sisterhood of the traveling pants.
August 14th, 2008 at 10:07 am
I swear to freaking Gawd that I was gonna say Ellen Page (with style) and so I’m happy to see that somebody whose seen you agrees.
August 14th, 2008 at 10:18 am
Ellen Page could play you very nicely
Or perhaps a Shelley Long circa late 1980’s, early 1990’s. Someone with perfect delivery and facial expressions that say more than words.
Love the blog….I know the movie’s theme song would be Gloria Gaynor’s “I will Survive!”
August 14th, 2008 at 10:40 am
I’d pick Natalie Portman
August 14th, 2008 at 10:56 am
Julia Roberts.
August 14th, 2008 at 11:29 am
Based solely on your cartoon pic up top and my perception of your perky personality, I always picture Vanessa Minnillo.
August 14th, 2008 at 11:35 am
I would say Sally Pressmen, Natalie Portman or Rachel McAdams-
August 14th, 2008 at 11:47 am
My image of you on my head is always Reese Witherspoon–her determination and that petite size does not stop her from kicking butt.
What a great question. Can the movie of your life be a musical, because I am rooting for a happy ending.
August 14th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
I have always thought (in my head) you looked like one of the Olson sisters. Ashley and Mary-Kate. However, I don’t see them as actresses being able to pull off what your character is made of. So, I’d maybe also go Ellen Page. Although I can see Natalie Imbruglia that someone mentioned above as well.
August 14th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
I was thinking Jena Malone, too. Or Kristen Stewart, or even Evan Rachel Wood.
August 14th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
GREEEAAAAT there goes me being able to play *pout*
August 14th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
I think it should be Anna Friel from Pushing Daisies.

August 14th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
I’m going with Rose McGowan. She’s kick-ass and pretty darn cute.
August 14th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
I’ve been reading for a while & decided to de-lurk to play along. I swear I’ve always seen you as Sandra Bullock in my head…I can’t believe someone else said it, too. (In my mind, it’s Sandra with really curly hair…like the girl from Providence or Keri Russell).
August 14th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Sarah Michelle Gellar
August 15th, 2008 at 3:40 am
Eva Mendes.
August 18th, 2008 at 8:52 am
My first thought was Julia Roberts. Or Reese Witherspoon as a brunette.
