Anna and the wife look SO similar to each other!


Is it weird that they cast two women who look EXTREMELY similar to each other? When Rusty was having an affair with Anna I thought "my god, she looks exactly like a younger version of your wife!"

When Anna was in the kitchen chopping onions at Rusty's house I thought "Wow, his wife looks really good," and then I realized it was Anna. It's almost freaky how similar they look...to the point of distracting me from paying attention to the movie.

LOL Funny you should say that! In the past, I have thought that the actress who plays Anna does look a lot like Marcia. I thought it was just me! hehe

I saw her in another movie the night before and she was a killer in that. I think it should have been Anna as the killer, btw.

I noticed that, too. One looked like a younger version of the other.

They may have looked similar but there was no comparison the lover had the advantage in the looks department and personality to go with it.

i sorta see a resemblance - esp in the kitchen scene, but in some scenes they don't - maybe it was they way his wife was wearing her hair in the kitchen scene that made them look a little alike... also ----

well to be fair rusty's wife was NEVER the same after she killed her hubby's lover 20 years ago; by the way Bonnie Bedelia was amazing in Presumed Innocent, esp when she breaks down and tells Rusty she killed his "lover"... she is an amazing actress, so glad i get to watch her on the show "parenthood" - to me she has always been an underrated actress, bc i've seen a lot of her movies and she always knocks it out the park... rusty realized that his cheating really did a number on his wife - psychologically which is why he never turned her in, it was his fault the state of mind she was in when she killed Carolyn Polhemus..
i'm not condoning her actions but she snapped and was never the same again - esp when she found out about the affair and THEN after she killed Carolyn of course she went way down hill.... movie was pretty good. i hope TNT does some more "Mystery Movie Nights" -- they were entertaining.
