Separated at Birth: Part 2

















"Kiss my Grits!"

Dad keeps saying that when he sees this photo, he thinks I look like Linda Lavin- she played Alice on the 70s series of the same name. You know, the one with Mel (the hilarious Vic Tayback) and Flo, it takes place in a diner, and you can count on Flo saying, "Kiss my Grits!" at least once in every episode. That's Alice on the left in this photo. I don't know-I personally think I look more like a young Mary Kate or Ashley.

Separated at Birth: Part 5














Donna Reed? I think Dad is just saying that so he can put a picture of her on my blog. Today he said I looked like a young Elizabeth Taylor, and I was like, "OK, that's it!"

Here she is circa 1953, when she won an Oscar for From Here to Eternity.

Separated at Birth: Part 6













When Adina was here she taught me some swimming moves and called me Esther Williams. So I looked her up and found a photo. Look-we have very similar suits! I had Dad Netflix Dangerous When Wet and Million Dollar Mermaid.

Separated at Birth: Part 3






































First Dad says I look like Orson Welles. Then Linda Lavin from Alice. Now he' s on this Faces kick and thinks I look like Rod Stewart, circa 1972. I didn't believe him until I saw this photo of me with Patrick. Patrick has this really cool Ronnie Wood thing going, and here he's doing the rock start thing and I'm going along with him.

Dad keeps strutting around the house like a peacock and singing the Faces' song, "Bad 'n Ruin" and getting me to do The Elsa.

Separated at Birth: Part 4
































Rita Hayworth? C'mon Dad, I don't see it. I know you're a big fan of Gilda but jeez. It was romantic when you told me that the first time you met Mum you thought Mum looked like her.

Separated at Birth: Part 1






What do you think, a young Orson Welles, right before Citizen Kane? Right? Yeah? I see it!
