A little different from deep fake videos, but my wife was a dead ringer for Sally Field. It created all sorts of interesting and/or weird situations. People would follow her around and try to get her autograph. When we visited touristy spots near Los Angeles it was especially bad... lots of pictures and video and they would follow her into restrooms... It wasn't all bad, on several occassions we were pulled out of lines at restaurants and given a private room. When we told the staff that she was not Sally Field, they said that they didn't care but requested that we not let anyone know as we left because it helped create excitement for their other customers. On a couple of occasions actual celebrities approached my wife because they thought she was Sally Field. Most memoarable off the top of my head... wife had a lengthy conversation with the gal that played Shirley on Lavern and Shirley. Téa Leoni mistook her for Sally Field. And the old guy who did the voice for Baby Huey and a buch of other cartoons introduced himself... There were other occassions as well... those are just the ones that come to my mind.
That’s not Tom Cruise? Now I want to see your wife.
Thank you for posting the most interesting post of the month.
