She is definitely an idealized version of me&#8230;an attractive, mature hippie type. Or as I like to call her, the thinking man&#8217;s <strong>Demi Moore<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Years ago, my sister&#8217;s husband had an &#8220;adventure&#8221; that I won&#8217;t go into, except to say that afterward, my sister and I liked to secretly cast the movie of it. The title would be &#8220;On the Lam.&#8221; We figured that <strong>Karen Allen<\/strong> or maybe <strong>Debra Winger<\/strong> could play us, and <strong>Sam Neil<\/strong> could play her husband. I can&#8217;t remember how we cast the other characters in our lives, but it was a great game.<\/p>\n<p>The other night though, I saw a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1084950\/\" target=\"_blank\">movie<\/a> with Debra Winger, who is now an old hag; she&#8217;s definitely out. And I have remarried. My husband can be played by <strong>Carlos Santana<\/strong>, since he&#8217;s been mistaken for Carlos Santana more than once.<\/p>\n<p>If for some reason, Catherine Keener is too busy to play me, I would settle for <strong>Dita Von Teese<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.godammit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Dita-and-Gaultier1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4174\" title=\"Dita and Gaultier1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.godammit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Dita-and-Gaultier1-231x300.jpg?resize=231%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/godammit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Dita-and-Gaultier1.jpg?resize=231%2C300&amp;ssl=1 231w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/godammit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Dita-and-Gaultier1.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Who would you cast as you in the movie of <em>your<\/em> life?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to Hammie, I now know what actress should play me in the movie based on my life: Catherine Keener.
