| Look closer at that beautiful beaming face and you'll wonder how the casting directors ever found such a perfect match for Melissa Leo. Why, the two could be twins! Okay, you caught us, that IS Melissa Leo. "When I read the script and heard that Kay Howard's sister, Carrie, was coming to town, I was mortified as to who might play her and I begged if I could please audition for the part and played it under a pseudonym. I played it under the name of Margaret May." When asked if the name had any special significance, Melissa replied, "Doesn't it sound like a movie star name? It's my mother's name and her sister's name. There's just something about it that sounded just right to me." "What a ball it was, getting to play the two parts. The show is really worth taking a look at to see how they did that. You never even think it's the same person. My father said, "Melissa, who did they get to play your sister?"
