I did the dame test a while ago and got Bette Davis. I thought that was cool.

Just for fun, I did the Man test to see who I'd be if I were a man. The test said I would be Cary Grant! I thought that was quite nice.

Maybe it's the cleft on my chin

Well, I was trying to skew my answers to come out with William Powell, but wouldn't you know, they said Cary Grant. I guess I REALLLLY shouldn't complain. I don't dress as well as Cary Grant. Then again I don't dress as well as William Powell. But I did have a pretty good William Powell mustache for a while. Whatever. Color me suave.

Say Hello to Carole lombard!:)

You scored 10% grit, 0% wit, 62% flair, and 38% class!

You're a little bit of a fruitcake, but you always act out in style. You have a good sense of humor, are game for almost anything, but you like to have nice things about you and are attracted to the high life. You're stylish and modern, but you've got a few rough edges that keep you from attaining true sophistication. Your leading men include William Powell, Fredric March, and Clark Gable. Watch out for small planes


Well, I have a lot of class but...0% wit??lol

CARY GRANT

You scored 17% Tough, 24% Roguish, 29% Friendly, and 33% Charming!

You are the epitome of charm and style, the smooth operator who steals the show with your sophisticated wit, quiet confidence and flirty sense of humor. You are able to catch any woman you want just by flashing that disarming smile, even if you're flashing it at a kindly aunt or engaging child at the time. When you walk into a room, women are instantly intrigued and even the men are impressed, but you're too nice a guy to steal anyone else's girl...unless the guy deserves it. You're stylish, yes, but you can also be a little bit nutty. However, you're primarily seen as dashing, suave and romantic. Your co-stars include Katharine Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn, and Grace Kelly, stylish women with a sense of fun.


It could be a lot worse. I could've gotten Ned Sparks or Wallace Beery.

Hmmnn.... interesting.... I answered the questions honestly, but I think I would have self-identified more with the description of Bogart....

Edit: just did the leading ladies, from POV of what I would prefer to see in a leading lady, and it came up as Katherine Hepburn - Cary Grant being one of the leading men they mention there.

You, my friend, are a man's man, the original true grit, one tough talking, swaggering son of a bitch. You're not a bad guy, on the contrary, you're the ultimate good guy, but you're one tough character, rough and tumble, ready for anything. You call the shots and go your own way, and if some screwy dame is willing to accept your terms, that's just fine by you. Otherwise, you'll just hit the open trail and stay true to yourself. You stand up for what you believe and can handle any situation, usually by rushing into the thick of the action. You're not polished and you're not overly warm, but you're a straight shooter and a real stand up guy. Co-stars include Lauren Bacall and Maureen O'Hara, tough broads who can take care of themselves.
:eek:
And I thought I was just grumpy. Of course, it depends on the day, season, and which phase the moon is in.

You're the original man of honor, rough and tough but willing to stick your neck out when you need to, despite what you might say to the contrary. You're a complex character full of spit and vinegar, but with a soft heart and a tender streak that you try to hide. There's usually a complicated dame in the picture, someone who sees the real you behind all the tough talk and can dish it out as well as you can. You're not easy to get next to, but when you find the right partner, you're caring and loyal to a fault. A big fault. But you take it on the chin and move on, nursing your pain inside and maintaining your armor...until the next dame walks in. Or possibly the same dame, and of all the gin joints in all the world, it had to be yours. Co-stars include Ingrid Bergman and Lauren Bacall, hot chicks with problems."


Hmm, I scored Bogey. A lot of the description is pretty close, the last four words describe several of my past romances...

You are class itself, the calm, confident "perfect woman." Men turn and look at you admiringly as you walk down the street, and even your rivals have a grudging respect for you. You always know the right thing to say, do and, of course, wear. You can take charge of a situation when things get out of hand, and you're a great help to your partner even if they don't immediately see or know it. You are one classy dame. Your screen partners include William Powell and Cary Grant, you little simmerpot, you.

Wow, Im suprised. I thought I was going to get something horrible!!!

Walter Mitty...

I didn't even come back as a real person.

Not even Laurel and Hardy or all of the Marx Brothers.













































Actually, I can't remember my user name and password, and my "information" has been e-mailed to me... But is apparently lost in bit heaven. Oh for a good old fashioned telegram.

You are loaded with a quirky kind of class that people find irresistable. Men turn and look at you admiringly as you walk down the street, and even your rivals have a grudging respect for you. You usually know the right thing to say, do and, of course, wear. You can take charge of a situation when things get out of hand, and you do it with great poise and chic. Your wit and sense of fun endear you to your partner and every other man in the room. Your screen partners include William Powell and Cary Grant. You're quite a catch...if you want to be caught.

You are the fabulously quirky and independent woman of character. You go your own way, follow your own drummer, take your own lead. You stand head and shoulders next to your partner, but you are perfectly willing and able to stand alone. Others might be more classically beautiful or conventionally woman-like, but you possess a more fundamental common sense and off-kilter charm, making interesting men fall at your feet. You can pick them up or leave them there as you see fit. You share the screen with the likes of Spencer Tracy and Cary Grant, thinking men who like strong women.

Can't think of a woman I would rather be compared to. I still say I wouldn't open the confidential telegram though.
