What's-Up Wednesday

I'm starting a new series called What's-Up Wednesdays. I do a lot of sharing on this blog, but I'd like to hear more from you. Don't worry, I'm not going to be asking deep probing questions each week, just fun things. I hope you'll share your answers with me in the comments.

So for this inaugural What's-Up Wednesday, I'm wondering, "If Hollywood wanted to make a movie of your life, who would you choose to play you?"

Nia Vardalos
There are not a lot of curly-haired size 18s in the movie business, but I was asked this question long ago and came up with Nia Vardalos from My Big Fat Greek Wedding.  She's the closest I'm getting to a Hollywood doppleganger. Plus, she's sassy and funny, just like me (if I do say so myself).

What about you?  Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life?

  1. I'd say Reese Witherspoon. She's blonde, southern and funny. I think that describes me pretty well. :)

  2. 15 years ago I decided on Shawna Waldron; now I'm not so sure.

  3. Yours, Amie's and April's are spot on. I have thought about this and actually have no idea. When the whole FB thing was to post a picture of who you are told you like was going on, I could only think of Mom. LOL, so maybe my Mom should play me? She is kind of a rock star in her own way.

  5. Cara- Sandra Bullock is you in 30 years, not 10!
    Rachel- while your mom is a rock star, I don't think you guys look alike! We can come up with something!
    Abi- I have no idea who that is. I will have to look it up.
    Amie and April- I love yours!

  6. I have the same problem you do, except I have the added niggle of finding someone who's 5'10" with wavy hair and wears a size 18. I'd settle for Melissa McCarthy -- it's hardly settling because I LOVE her -- if they could stand her on an 8- or 9-inch box. Camryn Manheim could be another possibility, but she's quite a bit older than me.

  7. Jill- I think yours, Amie's, April's, and Rachel's are great! As for mine, well, in 1994, Shawna Waldron was "The Icebox" in the movie Little Giants; now, however, she seems to be kind of a borderline porn star.

    p.s. I have to post anonymously on my parents' computer because of some funky setting they have.

  8. Meredith- Camryn Manheim would be good, but she is too old and a little too plain, if you know what I mean. And I THOUGHT I loved Melissa McCarthy until I saw Bridesmaids and now I am enraptured with her. She's hilarious.
    Abi- I was wondering about the anonymous situation.

  9. Rachel's could be Emma Stone, Bryce Dallas Howard or the Lohan. (it was hard for me to type that, though)

    Abi's could be Rachael Leigh Cook or Zooey Deschanel.

    Just putting those out there...

  10. Oh poor Shawna Waldron. I loved Little Giants. I don't know who mine would be. I love that you know you are sassy though.
