Help me identify an actress

Huh. FYI, I’m the guy on Jeopardy (yesterday and today), and I was prepared to be offended.

I always liked the Kenneth Branagh reference, and I have to say…the Pamela Reed thing may not be too far off.

For some reason, I look far squishier on TV.

ARF

Though she’s older than Martha Plimpton, my first thought was Jane Carr.

In case you haven’t looked around yet at SDMB, there are quite a few Jeopardy! veterans here, so I won’t question your credentials. There are even threads where discussions of the Jeopardy! experience have taken place.

Good luck in continuing your run there, but I guess you know how things turned out already! :slight_smile:

Good to make your acquaintance. Sorry if the resemblance thing was upsetting.

The camera adds 10 degrees of squishiness; everybody knows that.

Zounds! Congratualtions and sincerest apologies for saying you look like Mindy Cohn. I was just. . . that is . . .uh. . . Congratulations on the Jeapardy!

Here’s an idea: now that we have established that Pamela Reed is who I was trying to identify, wouldn’t it be worth the exercise to see who Pamela Reed most resembles in your eye. Thus far we have:

Martha Plimpton
Mare Winningham
Joan Allen
Imelda Staunton
Mindy Cohn
Rue McClanahan
Bea Arthur
Kyra Sedgwick
Michelle Pfeiffer
Foxy Brown
The Swiffer lady
Jane Carr

Please provide a picture link with your match.

Let’s assume the guys already mentioned (including Jeopardy! guy) will not be closer than some other females. :smiley:

My guess is Phyllis Schlaffly – she’s the one on the left. :stuck_out_tongue:

How about a much younger version of Anne Meara ?

Hah!

No apologies needed, believe me. I’ve on or around this board for a long time, and I’m just glad I wasn’t referenced in the Pit.

Zeldar…I am as happy as a clam that you picked Brannagh for at least half of me. My own loving wife says I look like Meat Loaf, Andy Richter, or Tom-guy-from-Roseanne.

I defend my championship today. This one’s tough.

The best younger picture of Ms. Meara I could find is http://www.actorsequity.org/AboutEquity/HowIGotMyEquityCard/images/meara.jpg and I can see enough resemblance to Pamela to endorse it.

I’m just hoping somebody with a premium IMDb membership will see the Kevin Bacon styled challenge and make a list of “people who look like Pamela Reed.”

Branagh’s “band of brothers” speech in Henry V is one of the high points in movie history.

Wives can be insensitive at times. Is that Tom Arnold, perhaps? Funny guy!

BTW, I caught that little “Bear” reference you made in your video.

It’s not tumor!

Tom Arnold Schwarzenegger in Kindergarten Cop, perhaps?
