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

hahaha awesome examples so far!

For ME, I am kinda torn between Carnie Wilson for the looks,

Kathy Najimy for the comedic side,

and Kirstie Alley for the over the top side!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.)

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).

Truman Capote

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.....

What a hoot of a thread, my sweet Karate Princess!!!!

First thought is Kathy Najimy

Second thought is Rikki Lake:

And sometimes Melissa McCarthy:

Softhearted · 03-25-2010, 09:50 PM

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

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