> During the 1990s when there were talks of bringing the Superman franchise back to life with new actors in the roles of Lois and Clark many fans were hoping that Friends actress Courtney Cox would take over the role. Proving she can pull a strong, feisty, yet likeable role, is something that Cox has already achieved, in her role of Monica in one of the most popular sitcoms of all time: Friends. And she has a striking resemblance to Kidder, to boot! But, for now, both actresses are still busy with their own projects, even if they are no longer at the top of their careers, they never forgot how to keep busy in Hollywood.

With both of them looking almost identical, fans could be excused of getting them mixed up.
As time passed by, however, Sobieski focused mostly on smaller roles, choosing to focus on raising her children instead.

But it is actually really frustrating. British? Check. Actresses? Check. Got their big breaks in the Star Wars franchise? Check.
