Does anyone else think this candystriper looks a whole lot like actress/comedienne Amy Poehler? Could this indeed be her?

LOL I thought the exact same thing... :o

Francine is blond

Yeah, and I picture her not quite as sweet... there is just something about that girl that recalls the whole popular high school cheerleader for me...

This is Kirsten Dunst, but the way she looks in this picture in particular is more or less like I imagine Francine, but with brown eyes. Too bad Matilda Ledger is still a baby. She'll be the perfect candidate to play the part!

Francine is a female version of Ennis, and it is possible the young Kirstin Dunst could probably suit.  Blond, brown eyes, with that nearly-expressionless slight smile that gives her momma the willies!

Ooh, I've never seen this pic before...this is a very LS Ennis, don't you think?



I totally agree Lori!  Wow, can just imagine him stood at the jukebox in the Red Stallion looking just like that (does the Red Stallion have a jukebox?).  No wonder he gets called Buttercup so often.  ;)

Btw, I have this pic in a BBM German pressbook I got off ebay - I actually only received it yesterday in fact, and I've been staring at it ever since! lol It has some wonderful pics I've never seen anywhere else before - including one of Ang Lee, dressed like Jack Twist! He has that gorgeous green coat of his on and everything.

Sorry, that was all o/t.  :-X

Thank you, Lori, for planting the beginning of a devilish little idea in Louise's head.  I like the way she worked it in to the Saga! ;) Teamwork, what a wonderful concept!

Welcome to Christie and other new readers of the Laramie Saga.  Glad you could join us here.  It's a lot of fun!

Thanks for the welcome Laurel.  Its great to be here.  I hope to catch up a little on the thread now I'm all caught up on LS.   It does seem a great place to be.
