Female Directors

I volunteered over at The Egyptian Theatre tonight.
The event was "Focus on Female Directors".
It was a series of Shorts all done by female directors.
I was most interested in the Short done by Sofia Coppola .

I was up at the front with the other volunteers. I was doing the Marketing Survey "How did you find out about the movie?".
Two other volunteers were ticket takers.

A woman walked in, and the volunteer ripped her ticket.
Then the volunteer said "You look so much like Jennifer Connelly . I bet you get that all the time. That you look exactly like Jennifer Connelly. The resemblance is amazing."

The woman laughed.
The volunteer said "Do people tell you how much you look like Jennifer Connelly?"
The woman laughed again "Oh, yeah ... She told me."
And she laughed again.

The volunteered said "Really, Jennifer Connelly told you that?"
And the woman laughed and walked away.

Then the other volunteer looked at me and said "Oh, dear... was that Jennifer Connelly?"

I said "I have no idea, but it sure did look like her."
