At dinner last night I was served by a friendly brunette with a girl-next-door face who looked oddly familiar to me. Midway through the meal, the coin dropped, and I said to her, “Forgive me for staring, but you look just like an actress who got nominated for a Tony this morning.”
“Who?” she asked.
“Celia Keenan-Bolger, for The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.”
A complicated expression flashed across her pretty features. “Oh, I know,” she said. “I do look like her. And I was up for that part, too, for the longest time. I so wanted it!”
I tipped extra.
