The Marx Brothers on Authentication

From Animal Crackers (1930), where Captain Spaulding is introduced to a musician at a party.

Captain Jeffrey T. Spaulding: Say, I used to know a fellow looked exactly like you, by the name of Emmanuel Raveli: Are you his brother?
Signor Emanuel Ravelli: I am Emmanuel Raveli.
Spaulding: You are Emmanuel Raveli?
Ravelli: I am Emmanuel Raveli.
Spaulding: Well, no wonder you look like him. But I still insist, there is a resemblance.
Ravelli: Ha, ha, ha. He thinks I look alike.
Spaulding: Well if you do, it’s a tough break for both of you.

Blodgett and Arquette: Separated at birth?

I’m watching a music documentary by actress Rosanna Arquette. She looks so much like master publicist Renee Blodgett in the face, voice pitch and body language. And they are both so interested in the humanities, especially music and dance. That and the two “t”s. Separated at birth?

I met Renee at the Boston Bloggercon (2? 3?) just before she moved to California.

And then I saw her last Saturday at Blogher06, another blogging event, still looking tan and so turned on by the ideas, people and fashion floating around the Hyatt’s pool.
