Someone asked me the other day who I would cast to play me, if my life was made into a movie. I had a tough time deciding, but I think I’ve settled on
Young: Christina Ricci
Teens: Reese Witherspoon
20’s: Angelina Jolie
30’s: Meg Ryan
40’s: Susan Sarandon
60’s: Katharine Hepburn
70’s+: Jessica Tandy
Now it’s your turn! Feel free to cast your family members, best friend. Stick with your life now, or your life as a whole. You can pick a director, even a theme song!
This is your life!

Mrs. Trion went off on a tangent like this not long ago. She picked Seth Green to play me. I should point out right now that this has more to do with attitude than looks.
I think I would be quite pleased if Ewan MacGregor played me. I’m sure he could handle the bland American accent, and I think that in my current incarnation, I resemble him as he looked in Trainspotting (minus the heroin-isms).
I would love if Kate Winslet played me. Or Toni Collette. That’s not to say that I look like either one of them, but I think that would be cool.
John Goodman would play my dad. Reese Witherspoon would play my sister.
I don’t know about the rest of my family.

Well, I don’t LOOK like any of the ladies I chose—I was thinking more of persona.
As my parents, I’d cast gruff, blustery Ed Asner as my father (who actually looked like a very thin Ed Asner—sorry, SqrlCub!), and that woman who played Edina’s Mum on “AbFab” as my mother. My mother is exactly like her, except for the English accent. As my sister . . . Hmmm. A younger Diane Keaton, I think. Pretty, wholesome, cheery, a little daft.
And my best friend, David, looks like Jeff Daniels and '30s movie star Gene Raymond had a baby, so one of them as him.
Mmmmm…Sally Field as my mother, definitely. They even look alike and only Sally could capture my mother’s emotional pain and quirky sense of humor & wisdom. My ex-stepdad would be Kevin Spacey, the only person who could represent his manipulative, psychopathic essence. My dad would be Clark Gable. My stepmom would be Gloria Estefan. My brother, Edward Norton and no clue on my sis.
