Rose and Smiley,

Thank you both very much. Those are both VERY flattering. If only either were true.

Closer to Clooney, but if I looked like anyone famous, it might be Phil Donohue -- lots of hair, although not yet as gray -- and no glasses. In younger years, a little like a young JFK -- again, the hair.

Although when I was in college, I did work at a TV station with George Clooney's father, Nick Clooney. And our best man was the director of the Phil Donohue Show for a while.

None of the looks rubbed off.

I don't really have a person in mind, but I would expect JAM to be VERY classy in looks and comportment. Which could fit Candace Bergan very well, come to think of it.

Because she has said she is "short," I think the Sally Field comparison might fit Carnation -- although I seem to remember that she is at least part Asian? Or am I thinking of someone else?

OK, how about Tom Earp, the ex-cop? How about Jerry Orbach, the older cop on Law and Order. (BTW, did anyone realize that Orbach won the Tony Award for best actor in a musical for Promises, Promises in 1967? First show I ever saw on Broadway)

OK, enough digression.

Amazing how many more have posted while I wrote this. Thanks to you all.
