Although Thompson isn't nearly conservative enough.

An interesting combination, to say the least. I was very lucky in my choice of parents!

What an interesting question!

in the store where he works. My friend said to me, "That's two down. Now, I just have to meet Tom Selleck, and I will have met the only three men on the planet who look good with a mustache"

The characters from All In The Family were so close to my life story it isn't even funny.

Joan Crawford (Mommie Dearest) and The Great Santini (The Character)

Yeah...my childhood was hell.

and my mother would be Faye Dunaway....

Dad looked a lot like JG, except for Dad's blue eyes, and was a life-long Democrat as well.


Mom resembled Lee Remick, but was far more intellectual.

as dad. Joan Crawford (mommy dearest) as mom. That movie was my childhood. Only without the money and fame.

My parents were beauties.

Margaret Hamilton would NOT be in her wicked witch role.

To MiddleFingerMomDad's credit, although he was a homophobe and a bigot, he didn't pass that
along to his kids. I didn't realize those things about him until I was well into my adult years. He
got worse as he got older and, though he died at age 80 in 2001, he almost certainly would have
felt a strong kinship with the Tea Party had he lived.
.
I read him the riot act one day after he used the word "fairies" a couple of times. He actually
whined that he couldn't help it as it was how he was raised. I told him it was time that he finally
grew up. MiddleFingerMomMom could barely conceal her grinning.
.
She, OTOH, grew cooler and cooler as she aged. Coming from a moderately conservative smalltown
Midwestern 60's housewife background, she became more and more liberal as she got beyond her 50's.
.
She was VERY angry and disgusted by the Right's disrespect and disregard and lack of compassion
for people in general, but especially for those in need.
.
MFMMom also died in 2001, the day after 9/11. By the time of their deaths, I had "disowned" my
father completely and had become good friends with my mom.

You lucky bastid.

Father: A mix between Micheal Douglas ( Gordon Gekko ) and Carroll O'Connor ( Archie Bunker )

Mother: A mix between Faye Dunaway and Jean Stapleton

He pretty much hated her by then.

Not sure about dad...mom definitely Anne Ramsey.

For the early scenes (50s-early 70s) Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire, if he was willing to shave mostly bald for the part

On Edit: French Connection, Hackman and.....well Doris Day.

I loved that show.

Although my dad could be played by Paul Newman too, hard choice! At times my mom could have been played by Joan Crawford too though.

Ryan Gosling.

Mom is a classic Italian beauty, she's with me now. Dad passed in 06.

They fought a lot when I was small.

Mind you, she died in her early 30s. In that time frame he'd have been a cross between Elvis and The above. He got awfuller as he got older.

and Mindy Sterling (Frau Farbissina from the Austin Powers movies) at least in terms of looks.

and Claude Rains as Dad, reprising his role in "The Invisible Man".

Dad: Hybrid between Alan Alda and Dick Van Dyke

Mom: Hybrid between Liz Taylor and Shirley McClaine

On looks alone. Personality probably Oliver Stone and Sigourney Weaver
