About This Quiz

Ever wonder who would be the perfect actress to portray you should your life become a made-for-TV movie? You may have someone in mind, but once the results are revealed, will the answer surprise you?

Remember, actors are good at pretending to be somebody they're not. So all those years of watching your favorite actress may have you convinced that if you two were to meet in real life, you'd fast become BFFs when, in reality, you don't have much in common at all. Conversely, someone you never in your wildest imagination would've thought would relate to you may just turn out to know you almost better than you know yourself.

Then again, the answer may not surprise you at all!

There's only one way to be sure, and that's by answering the following questions honestly. There are no right or wrong answers; just pick the response that best describes you. Do you have strong opinions and aren't shy about sharing them? Do you like to challenge social norms? Are your days filled with drama?

Don't wait any longer to find out more about the Hollywood version of you. Take this quiz to find out which celebrity should be cast to play you. Ready? Camera, lights, action!
