I would like Meryl Streep to play me. I think she could capture me well...... :lol: Plus maybe she would bring home an Oscar. :lol:

The picture would be called........... Life's not to be wasted...

Kay Scarpetta

Various people have told me my life would make a good book someday... hm.

I would have Angelina Jolie play me. We are very much alike. I'd love to have Allison Janney as my mother, and Mel Gibson as my father.

The director... hmm. Good question. I'd call it 'Never Looking Back'

The girl that was in "painful secrets" aka "secret cutting." i can relate to her character in that movie very well. i would probably call it "hell of yesterday".

Well, I'm still young, and though I can't think of actors who look quite a bit like me (though someone told me a while ago I look like a young Dick Van Dyke when I do this thing with my chin)- I'd probably have Kieran Culkin play me.

I'm not sure what it would be called though. If I had control in creating the film it would be a musical with the musical numbers taking place inside my head!

I would be played by... hmm. I think I'd like to be played by Bette Midler. I don't know why... it'd just be fun. Hah. It'd be called... well, I don't know, but Tarantino would direct. Cos you know, random people die bloody deaths regularly in my life.

Nah, he's just my favorite director. Him or Baz Luhrmann.

I dunno, I guess Alexis Bledel, she could prolly play me pretty well, even though we don't really look like each other. For my mom I dunno, either Lauren Graham, haha, ok, so I know their on Gilmore Girls together, but my mom and I are like that, or Geena Davis, b/c people tell my mom all the time she looks like Geena Davis. My dad...hmmm, I dunno...and my sisters...*shrugs* young Mackenzie Rosman (back when she had curly hair) would be good for my youngest sister. My other sisters an actress, she could play herself, actually, my youngest sister wants to be an actress too...I dunno who I'd want to direct it, and as for a title I'd call it Laudie ;), b/c that's my nickname and that's all I can come up with.

I'd have Alan Parker direct my life story :)

-*Forever*- Bette Midler rocks!

I don't have much to tell anyway for my life- so as far as my movie goes, I only have enough material for about 3 minutes (not including the opening titles!)

I wouldn't want a movie to be made about my life. Probably no one would go see it anyway because my life is so boring.

So would mine- but then again, many life stories get put on screen and spiced up a little. What you do is exagerrate, take everything out of context, add in a 'slap' scene, a driving the car while crying and screaming scene and a comedic, fish out of water stripclub scene, and you've got yourself a tv-movie about your life!

That wouldn't need to be added. To prove how much I slap people -

Me - *on the phone with my friend Taylor* Are you coming to Greg's?
Taylor - I have to do some chores, but I'll come after that.
Me - Okay, good. If you don't come, I'll slap you.
Taylor - You'll slap me even if I do come!

:D

the actress from American Pie (Michelle) & Buffy (Willow) Allison Hannigan or something like that is her name. She looks a lot like me. Although I've been told one of the young actresses on standing still would be able to play me.

Who would play me in a film about my life? Gee, I have three films I've started writing so I think for the first film which is going to be about reincarnation, based on little things about my life that could indicate the possiblity of reincarnation I would probably pick Dakota Fanning to play the younger version of myself and then once the character gets to teenager to 19 years of age I would choose either: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Reese Witherspoon, or Leelee Sobieski.

For the father in the film, I'm not sure. Maybe Kevin Bacon or Jake Gyllenhaal.

For the mother in the film, maybe Elizabeth Berkley.

This is kind of off-topic, but you know how professional photographers display their work in their shop windows? Well- I was walking past this show with my uncle and there was a photo and the kid in it looked exactly like me! The resemblance was scary!

If I had a play of my life that'd be different- I'd probably do it 'Blood Brothers' style and have adults play the children as well.


All this talk makes me think of the film 'Ziegfeld Follies'!

either that or Jack Nicholson. Everyone always says I remind them of him. I wonder if that's a good thing.

A nobody would play me as a kid with Dakota Fanning as.... someone. One of the many girls in my life. She's too old to play my Kindergarten crush (who she kinda looks like.... but prettier) and looks nothing like my 5th grade crush but I guess she'll do.

My mom would probably be Sharon Stone.

My dad would probably be either Eugene Levy or Saddam Hussein.

I'd probably find someone from the Indie circuit, or some unknown piece of talent to play me. Most of the big Hollywood names are way too good looking, and I'd want the film to feel genuine, and relatable to the average person. Besides, I don't think there are all that many good actors in my age group in Hollywood. I'm sure there are some older actors who could have played me when they were younger, but I just can't see any of the current 20 something actors that would make a good me.

If I did have the good fortune of having my life story put onto the big screen, I actually think it would be best if I could just play myself. Afterall, nobody could play me better than I could. If for some reason I couldn't do that, I guess I'd just do a casting call until I found the right person.

Well, if I couldn't play myself, I think I'd want Anne Hathaway to play me.

As far as a title, "Just An Act", "Up The Down Stairs", or "The Little Princess Who Could" (what I called my autobio from Senior English)

It would have to be a Lifetime movie of the week or something...

I guess it would be someone like Mary Tyler Moore.You know....like her Mary Richards character. When I was younger I was a lot like her. Nice, polite, ladylike, etc.I wore my hair similar to her long style and I wore the same type of clothes.(this was the 70's remember) But now that I'm older I would still like Mary to do it! She's awesome!

Ok, I'll be serious. If someone were to play me in a movie(Which no one ever will) I would like Drew Barrymore to play me, but I kinda look like Anne Hathaway. And I do act like her, in most of her movies. So I guess Anne would play me.
