This has gone through several iterations. Kelsey’s the hardest and she’ll be last. The people mentioned are all from the Cast of Characters post.

Look alikes is a fun game. Since there are no photos of the people here you’ll just have to trust me.

Sometimes when I see photos of Angelina Jolie I see the Dancer. Change Angelina’s hair to red and add green eyes. A while back the Dancer sent photos of her kids and her daughter looks just like her, lucky girl.

The American Artist is close to Kate Moss in face and build. Like Kelsey, the American Artist hasn’t gained weight since high school. Kelsey has letters I wrote her in the 1970s in which I described the American Artist, using others’ words, as a long legged beauty.

Give Lily Donaldson dark hair and take away the cleft of her chin and she’s close to the Joker. The Joker modeled when she was in high school, was slender and narrow hipped with delightful small breasts. For Feral Rabbit I wrote a post titled Perfect Breasts. The Joker wasn’t mentioned. For years I thought her breasts were ideal and small breasted women held a fascination. This was, I think, because sex with the Joker was so energetic.

One night I wanted to drink wine from the Joker’s breasts. I’m a klutz and couldn’t pour from the bottle and drink at the same time without hitting myself in the head. I asked and the guy who was watching climbed up on the bed and poured for us. Red wine, dry, flowed over her and I couldn’t catch it all.

The actress in the movie In Bed (In la Cama), Blanca Lewin, actually looks a lot like the Beautiful Woman in face and body except the nose. In the way Lewin portrays her character, though, she’s pure Kelsey. That dance is Kelsey, not the Beautiful Woman, and a little of the story.

Perhaps the one who looked most like Kelsey was a model in a mid-1990s Guess advertisement. She captured both Kelsey’s appearance and style. I can remember that model in only one set of ad pages in Vogue; perhaps she appeared elsewhere too.

Kelsey is a chameleon. So of course, Michelle Dockery, playing Death’s daughter in Hogfather, comes close, too, in appearance and existential ambience. Kelsey’s face can change from long and slender to heart shaped in the blink of an eye. In its oval incarnation she’s Leonardo da Vinci’s La Belle Ferroniere in the Louvre. Another moment she’s da Vinci’s Madonna Litta. Perhaps it’s the lips.
