Okay, Dopers! My daughter has a friend, and she said “Your daughter says I look like Jennifer Lawrence, what do you think?” No, she does not. But she does bear a strong resemblance to another, lesser known actress, but I can’t, for the life of me, what she was in… she had long blonde (or strawberry blonde) hair, pulled back in a low ponytail. She is a HUGE suck up, and I am thinking medical intern. Either a pronounced chin or a slight underbite. Sorry, that’s all I have. Help me. Please. ---

Note to readers: I completely, bafflingly screwed up [Anne Dudek’s](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0240043/) name, above. I can only blame the lateness of the hour, and not having dinner or my happy pills yet. ---

I would advise a Google Image Search for “_blonde_” “_actress_” “_ponytail_” “_suck up_”, and see what comes up. ---

> [@Evan\_Drake](#): > > I would advise a Google Image Search for “_blonde_” “_actress_” “_ponytail_” “_suck up_”, and see what comes up. I actually tried that. No luck. I guess it will eventually come to me, if it doesn’t drive me insane first. Not me of those suggested, by the way, not an a-list or well known actress, she’s one of “oh, THAT one!” Actresses ---

Sarah Chalke from “Scrubs” perhaps? I’m trying to remember if she ever wore her hair in a ponytail. ---

No, but the actress I am thinking of does resemble "original’ Becky from Roseanne. ---

> [@Shoeless](#): > > Sarah Chalke from “Scrubs” perhaps? I’m trying to remember if she ever wore her hair in a ponytail. I was thinking Kellie Martin, from ER. If it had been a brunette, I would’ve said Jennifer Morrison, from House. ---

Drat. The title made me think of [Darill from Kids in the Hall](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sTzwFJCZ54) - but turns out he doesn’t fit any of what the OP is looking for other than the pony tail 🙂
