Brownian Motion Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 Indian director hopes to cast Paris Hilton as Mother Teresa Mon Apr 3, 9:56 AM ET An Indian movie director said he hopes to persuade Paris Hilton to play the role of Nobel laureate and prospective Catholic Saint, Mother Teresa, in an upcoming film. "Her features resemble Mother Teresa," director T. Rajeevnath told AFP from the southwestern coastal state of Kerala. The filmmaker said Hilton is on his shortlist after a computer-generated image showed a close facial match between the hotel heiress and the Albanian-born nun. Mother Teresa, who died in 1997, worked among the poor in the teeming slums of Kolkata, formerly Calcutta, with the Missionaries of Charity. She was beatified by Pope John Paul in 2003, a significant step on the road to sainthood in the Catholic church. "A meeting with Paris Hilton is scheduled for the end of April," Rajeevnath said. The 54-year-old director is well-known in India for his Malayalam-language films, including "Janani" (Mother) -- the story of seven nuns who care for an abandoned baby, which won a national award. Hilton's prior movie experience includes appearing in a home-made sex video made by a former boyfriend that appeared on the Internet, and parts in several Hollywood B-films. The blond socialite, who is often the focus of US celebrity gossip columns, also starred in the US reality television show "The Simple Life". Copyright © 2006 Agence France Presse.

Dave James Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 (edited) I can't imagine how I've been able to overlook such an obvious resemblance. Why, they're practically dead ringers. I guess I need to pay more attention. Up over and out. Edited April 4, 2006 by Dave James Quote

Guy Yeah, I know someone who has read that & more (I suppose.) She almost gets violent when you mention Mother T. I think I'll forward the story to her. And I'm imagining her reaction *might* be that Paris is too good to play her. Mother T. and the Make A Wish foundation both set this person off like you wouldn't believe. I find it fascinating. Quote
JSngry Posted April 5, 2006 Report Posted April 5, 2006 So, if I make a wish for Paris Hilton, does that make everything even? Quote
