"Who would you want to play you in the movies, and why?"

Nan Elder – Bowman, Moos, Elder and Noe, LLP
"One of my partners says Margaret Hamilton – she played the Wicked Witch of the West in Wizard of Oz – I can’t imagine his reason . . . I would have preferred Kate Hepburn because she always seemed to have such a marvelous sense of irony."

John Fiske – Healy, Fiske, Richmond & Matthew             
"I pick Robert Prosky. That he died a few months ago is not an obstacle because he already has played me in the movies. He played the part of Jonathan Lundy in Mrs. Doubtfire and looks so much like me, and acts so much like me, that strangers come up to me in places such as Logan Airport or the supermarket and say, ‘I know you from somewhere.’ It’s fun to ask them from where and watch their faces as they struggle to figure that out. I come to their rescue by asking them, ‘When is the last time you saw Mrs. Doubtfire?’ Their sudden flash of recognition is followed by my having to explain that I am not the actual actor in the movie and that he is just a carbon copy. I have made a copy of one of his Mrs. Doubtfire scenes and have fun showing it to my grandchildren, some of whom are still convinced their grandfather was in the movies."

Aaron Agulnek – MA State Senate
"Brad Pitt would be perfect for portraying me on the silver screen.  People always stop me on the street and say that I have a striking resemblance to him.  If Brad didn’t want to further confuse the public, then Denzel Washington or Johnny Depp would do just fine."
