Q: Does anyone else see a resemblance between HGTV's Leanne Ford ("Restored by the Fords") and actress Diane Keaton? Are they related?
They aren't related, but as for whether anyone else has seen the resemblance, yes, they have. The L.A. Times called it "uncanny," and the New York Times compared both their "looks and sunny demeanor." But someone even more important sees it too: Leanne Ford herself.
When the L.A. Times confronted her with the comparison, she said she was "honored," but that she was already aware of it, and had even brought it up with Keaton herself.

Q: Anna Kendrick seems to have come out of nowhere. Where did she start?
Anna Kendrick is as beloved by critics as she is by audiences, and so the best way to trace her career arc is actually through her awards trail.
For example, you can glean a lot about her future career from the fact that the first major nomination she received was for a Tony Award all the way back in 1998, when she was just 13. She received the best-featured-actress nod for her role in "High Society," the stage adaptation of the 1956 movie of the same name.
