It’s the story of your life movie, who plays YOU?!

[PinkieLee]

After watching The Blindside AGAIN last night, and seeing the real life pictures of the people that the movie is based on, and the resemblance of the actors involved, I started wondering… who would play me in the story of my life?!

Just for fun, who would you pick to play YOU in the story of your life movie? It could be anybody ~ an actor/actress, musician, artist, someone you think kinda resembles you, or even someone that you think relates to you in some way.

[Apocalipstic]

I look like Sandi Patty, but I can guarantee she would not want to play me in a movie.

who was the lady in Misery? You know, the one who kidnapped him, tied him to the bed and then beat him? mmmmm...she would be good to play me. She gets into her character and can be outspoken yet funny, twisted but a survivor, sexy (did you see her in the hot tub scene?) but conservative with herself to others. Yeah..her....

[I'mOneToo]

kathy bates? she's one of my favorites.

i was complaining to a friend about a noisy neighbor about a week ago, and i said i was going to live out my own version of that movie with mr. annoying neighbor, but in this movie the victim dies. eh, it was not one of my more loving moments.

I want to write my life strory; I have a title, but nobody plays me but me.

[Greyson]

Omar Sharif, Anthony Quinn and/or Jenette Goldstein.

Ms. Goldstein is the actress who played the Latina Butch character in the movie, Aliens.

Omar Sharif, in the 60s I was a child but the characters he played were larger then life. Yuri in Doctor Zhivago; Sharif Ali in Lawrence of Arabia.

Anthony Quinn is now deceased but he was of mixed heritage like me, Mexican and Irish. He was also the first Mexican American to win an Oscar. He won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 1952 (before I was born) for his role in Viva Zapata.

[Rockinonahigh]

Patrick Swazee...he is so multi talented he is prolly the one of a fue who could touch the many facets of my personality.But I would rather do it myself.

[evolveme]

Holly Hunter. Hands Down, man.

We're just about exactly the same size. I figure we look well enough alike. She talks about as Southern as I do when she's pissed or happy or probably even when she's fucking, and I'd do all those things in a true reimagining of my life's story.

And sister can wear a pair of jeans. (Might not have tits god gave a bait worm, but she looks good in them jeans, man.)

http://megashareslink.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/saving-grace.jpg

[I'mOneToo]

Since she's been a topic of discussion today, I'll say Sandra Bullock can play me. Not because she looks anything like me or acts anything like me, but it would be a hell of a stretch and I know she could do it. Anyone who can stand on a stage and give any credit to a guy like Jesse James after winning an Oscar, could play the starring role in "Brokedown Butch" (which is what the movie would be named).

When I was young (and thin), people used to tell me that I looked like:

But I think a combo of Cathy Bates (sans knife) and Fannie Flagg would be fine.....

I'd pick Michael Madsen. But he'd have to add a little salt to his hair cuz I'm a little grey.

Exactly..............

[Mister Bent]

Well, Paul Newman is dead so...

Vincent D'Onofrio. The salt and pepper are about right, he's sort of broody and talks to strange little dogs.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a293/mrbent/bfd/Vincent-D-Onofrio-vincent-donofrio-.jpg

And, someone real smart once told me that's how it should be (in the Lifetime version), so that's how it is.

However, he should have eyes like faded jeans.

[moxie]

As a tot I would be played by the girl the played Little Orphan Annie in the movies:

http://www.raising-redheads.com/images/Aileen-Quinn.jpg

Then, to some friends in high school and first two years of undergrad my nickname was Molly:

http://aliontheair.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/molly-ringwald-breakfast-club-photograph-c10103186.jpeg

Even though my hair has pretty much made a 360 over the years and has gone back to the Molly Ringwald circa 1980s look, I don't really look like her, so I vote for the following:

http://www.zap2it.com/media/photo/2009-10/49833287.jpg



Or Flo from Alice. Because I've been told I am too sassy.

[SassyLeo]

I'd pick Michael Madsen. But he'd have to add a little salt to his hair cuz I'm a little grey.

You know, I SO thought John Cusack ;)

[Rook]

Hmmm....

Can't quite figure who'd play me as a child....
Maybe
Soleil Moon Frye {punky brewster}
However, Adult years ? Hands down, no Doubts..

First thought is Kathy Najimy

Second thought is Rikki Lake:

And sometimes Melissa McCarthy:

[Softhearted]

It would be a movie in black and white from the silent era 1920's.

I would choose Mary Pickford... image of innocence ... :giggle:

dear gemme, i picked bjork because we may physically be about the same size, have similar eyes, and keeping in line with the thread topic of "someone that you think relates to you in some way", there's creativity with the swan dress ;) plus, i love birds.

[QueenofQueens]

Q.C. should play me beyond a shadow of a doubt.
I'd gladly settle though, for playing him... ;)

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/queenofqueens/20022138_c9bcbc47ec.jpg

[chefhottie25]

Robert Downey Jr. for sure would play me. Both of us are former bad bois/boys who have turned their lives around. We are both also very charming.

[Jet]

Maybe.

I don't look like her but

At first I was confused (in school), and then (once I learned about the Sugar Cubes), I was flattered. I find her very pretty and exotic, not only in looks, but her way of thinking. She's definitely a free spirit!

Plus, it gave me an in with kids that most couldn't talk to and I like that exclusivity too. Now that I don't look as much like her, it almost feels as if I've lost part of what made me special. *shrug* Juvenile, but true.

I see your energies as being similar, yes. *smile*

[Blade]

ME............cuz I need the money

[mountainbikedyke]

I've been told numerous times that I look like kd lang, but I'd like Nickolas Cage or George Clooney to play my personality.

[Cowboi]

I think I would want Matthew McConaughey to play me. A good southern boy, real southern accent. Not that I look like him..........

[Venus007]

Kate Hepburn
She doesn't look like me in the slightest but I adore her and it is my movie so I get to pick! ;P

Queen Latifah again doesn't look like me (well we both have big boobs) but I love her bearing and she would do justice to the dark gritty parts of my life.

...it's the eyes. Ok, and the hair.

[RockOn]

My first thought is Charles Bronson. I believe it is his haggard-looking, hard-living, weather beaten face. That is what I see when I look in the mirror. Hard living in the fast lane and many a bar during the 70s and some of the 80s gifted me the "very old look." Plus, I will be 54 years old next month.

I love all of Bronson's Death Wish type movies. Hard action does it for me. Plus, they seem to de-stress me. I am usually worn out and peaceful in a good way after I watch one of these.

I am not wild about comedy movies although there are exceptions. I am non-negotiable with those sweety-pie so predictable romance movies. No exceptions. Ugh! I would sooner die than suffer through a romantic flick.

Psychotic thrillers like The Silence of the Lambs, Seven, etc., are excellent and will always intrigue me.

Hey bigbutchmistie, yes ... Hillary Swank was great in Boys Don't Cry - extremely convincing!

(By the way, I did not catalog Boys Don't Cry under "Romantic." ... just saying.)

[Bella~Vita]

If she could be resurrected, Grace Kelly, my all time fav.

However, in reality probably Goldie Hawn, cause my life would be more like a "Private Benjamin" sequel, without the army part.

Audrey Hepburn as "Holly" in Breakfast at Tiffany's -

Her character in the movie: scenes where she's at that huge party or playing her guitar, while she's sitting in the open balcony window of her apartment and singing "Moon River" (and many other scenes in the film) seems to be a fair depiction of how I view myself in some cases as it pertains to my life. I've always liked this movie!

[Heart]

Indie Queen -- Catherine Keener. Even has my first name.

[asphaltcowboi]

Ron White = blue collar comedy.. look alike/talk alike

Téa Leoni. Right combination of goof and klutz. Perfectly cool in her uncoolness. Interestingly, yesterday, someone told me it should be Tina Fey playing me, but I'm still picking Téa. (Mostly because I think her husband is insanely hot. I'm shallow that way.)

[Kobi]

Im thinking for my younger years, it would be a preadolescent Jodie Foster; for the teenage years, it would be Mindy Cohen, Natalie from Facts of Life; for my stellar adult moments it would be Candance Bergen as Murphy Brown; for my not so stellar adult moments it would be Rosann Barr a naturale.

Stick them in a blender and I think it coagulates into Bea Arthur! :blink:
