I answered this on Scribblings and thought it was fun, so I figured, hmmm, let me share it on Circle of Friends and see my friends and family would say in answer to The Question of the Week:
If a movie was being made about your life and you could choose any living actor or actress to play you in the film, whom would you choose? Would that choice be different if you could pick any actor or actress, living or dead?
I would choose Kathy Bates. I kind of feel a strong affinity for her. Maybe it?s because I feel that we look somewhat similar and seem to have similar characteristics. Of course, that could be because she is such a good actress. I don?t think my choice would be any different if I could pick anyone, living or dead.

She played the nun "sidekick" to Tom Bosley's priest on "Father Dowling Mysteries." (As a bit of trivia, she was also one of the toddler sisters in the 60's movie "Yours, Mine and Ours" - an outstanding movie that I highly recommend.)
I have identified with her since the first time I saw her on that show. It might be because she played a young, wisecracking nun - and I was young and wisecracking and almost became a nun. :66: (Ok, there's one ya didn't know, Cassie! :57: :2: ) We look similar, too, I think - or did at the time, I haven't seen phots of her in a while... even though she is about 6 years older than me, she always looked younger, I think...
