I am reading the book "Black Heels to Tractor Wheels" by Ree Drummond and heard that they are making a movie about her blog and book that is starring Reese Witherspoon. I was just wondering if there was a movie made about your life, who would you cast as your leading lady and why?
Ok, I will start...I think I would have Jamie Lee Curtis play me. I think she is funny and tomboyish but sexy and strong and she has short hair like me! Now, for my leading man...I will have to think on that one!

Sally Field, but she'd have to gain a little weight. LOL

Growing up I looked alot like Sally Fields. In fact a few people in my life called me "Gidget" for awhile. I think I would have Julia Roberts. (I should look so good. LOL) But like Sandra Bullock I think she's funny and sweet but I'm more her Brokavich role. I agree. Meryl can play anybody. My leading man would be Magnum PI-not Tom Sellack-just the role he played in Magnum..funny, sexy, cute.

OK, this is a really fun question. I would have to say Meridith Baxter Birney (I guess it's just Meridith Baxter now?) because we have the same hair. And she's a little ditzy. That would be me! Oh yes, and she played a family mom.

Who would play me...?? I'm not sure if I look like someone...although some guy asked if I was Buffy the Vampire Slayer once..(um no, I'm not..!!) But I would love it if Kate Winslet played me!!
As for leading man.. Hugh Jackman--he is just PERFECT--for the role I mean!!

If someone were to play me, I think I'd like it to be Jodie Foster. I'm tomboyish and and she's good at getting into her characters. For my leading man, I'd pick John Cusack or Johnny Depp.

Sally Fields for sure, she has my personality in most the roles she has played, however Roseanne looks more like me! lol hahaha
As for leading man......hmmm my husband looks like a mix of Montel Williams and Usher.
However, I would love Darius Rucker or Amaury Nolasco to play him! Ok I would settle if my husband just looked like Amaury Nolasco. lol hahaha But, hey who's complaining I look like Roseanne and my husband looks like Usher......lol haha.

What a fun question. Really made me think. The actress who would play me would absolutely be Jill Hennessy. A sassy, sarcastic, sexy, and strong brunette. She is not hugely well known, but plays Dr Jordan Cabanaugh in the tv series *Crossing Jordan*. Her character even has the same mannerisms, while walking, talking, or quietly sitting and reflecting.
As for the leading man, is have to find Sean Connery. He is just a beautiful and aimless man.(Vin Diesel would be pleasant for a more age appropriate actor.
The tears I shed then, watered the flowers I harvest now.

I would cast Mary Stuart-Masterson -- especially as she portrayed Itsy in "Fried Green Tomatoes." I have been told many times that I resemble MS-M and I definitely have Itsy's independent way. The leading man is a tougher one. I tend to like older men so maybe Harrison Ford or Sam Elliot. To play my husband though he would definitely have to be a strong, alpha-type like Sean Connery.
What fun!

| I would be played by Julia Stiles for sure & my hubby by Richard Gere. Probably too big of an age difference, but the characters & somewhat the looks fit. |

I had to think a bit but the only one I can come up with is Cathy Bates. Or is it Kathy?? Anywho, we are built the same and may look a bit alike. As for the leading man, either Hugh Jackman or Sam Elliott. I think saying Angelina Jolie to play me might be pushing it....

Wow, Diane, this one gave me pause. I read through the list of what others had posted. I can think of a character more than a person, but I think it would have to be a cross of Susan Sarandon and Glenn Close...the older versions of both. I really identify with what CeeJay had to say. I like the person of Sarah, Plain and Tall..a quietness borne of both joy and hardship.I also like the whimsy that Sarandan has shown at times, many-sided ladies- Susan and Glenn. As far as a man, that would be someone like Robert Redford..around age 55-60.

My good friends say that I resemble Julianne Moore...I think that's pushing it, but I'll take it--we would have to get Willem Dafoe to play my husband (think Mississippi Burning Willem Dafoe) and you've got my husband in a nutshell, glasses et al.

I would have to pick Isla Fischer, sweet, sassy, quirky, a bit sarcastic, and a whole lot of fun. Her role in Definately, Maybe is what I am thinking. And while were at it I would take Ryan Reynolds to play my dh also! :)

Well that would be Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood. They were fabulous in The Bridges of Madison County! I want to play that role! Well a woman can dream, can't she?

Based on what I looked like in younger times, Hayley Mills. Dead ringer. As for my leading man, DH and Warren Beatty were look-alikes in their youth. Now, I have to say DH is better looking.
