My sister's birthday is Monday, December 4th, so I'll be giving her her birthday present when I see her on Sunday (the same day this article posts). She's a big fan of TV's The West Wing, so she'll be receiving the boxed set of the complete series on DVD, as pictured above. As it happens, my friend John has the same set, so the last time I visited him, I asked if I could look at the contents of the box so I'd have an idea of what my sister would be getting.
One of the things that caught my eye was a photo of actress Janel Moloney (pictured below), who portrayed the character of Donna Moss. I wasn't thinking that the photo I was looking at was more than ten years old. I only looked at John and said, "Is this who I think it is?" I showed him the picture.
"Who do you think it is?" he asked.
"Isn't this Karen?" By "Karen," I meant Deborah Ann Woll (pictured below), the actress who plays the character of Karen Page on three Netflix series: Daredevil, The Defenders, and The Punisher.
Well, as becomes obvious when you have photos of both actresses in front of you, they're not the same person. And, like most people that prompt you to say "Hey, he/she looks exactly like so-and-so!" they don't look exactly alike.
But for a brief moment, I sure was fooled.
Thanks for your time.
