QotW: The Movie of My Life

Who would play you in the movie of your life? Bonus points for pictures!

Alicia Keys

Looks-wise, I had to rack my brain for someone who resembles me in any way, and sadly bi-racial actresses don't get enough press.  So, even though I'm not crazy about Alicia Keys as an actress (she always appears slightly stoned with her breathy, husky voice, few words, and perpetual semi-smile), I adore her as a talented musician, and I think we look a lot alike (but The Amazing B says I'm cuter, hee hee!).  I've also been a singer all my life, so that'd come in handy - even though I become highly vexed and uncomfortable whenever people break out into song in movies, so maybe not.  If the movie went for comedy, Maya Rudolf could also fit the bill.  Where is Maya Rudolf anyway? I certainly hope she hasn't become the latest SNL casualty; it can be a real bitch of a career killer... just look at Martin Short, for God's sake.

Parker Posey & Lauren Ambrose

Now talking personality, I'd say put Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose in a big bowl and stir them up (not that you would, it's called a metaphor, silly rabbit) and you might get something like me (anxiety attacks, quirky charm, unquenchable cynicism and piles of sarcasm)... but not in a horrid THE RETURN OF JEZEBEL JAMES kind of way. Tangent: I tried to watch that show the other night and had to take a bubble bath with a bottle of champagne halfway through it so as to wash off the ick and softly weep for two of my favorite actresses ever.  It was just so terribly bad, like someone had decided to throw in every nauseating cliché (like hiding in closets all day for no apparent reason and an insanely frequent laugh track that made me feel like I was watching THE HONEYMOONERS) in that aforementioned big bowl with them.  Which is too bad, because I worship them both, but even their collective indie fantabulousness couldn't save its skin!
