"Original" Is Better

“Be yourself. The world worships the original.” (Ingrid Bergman) “Always be a first version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.” (Judy Garland)
These actresses have certainly been true originals, creating a personal, unmistakable style. They had determination to be who they wanted to be, who they believed they should be. This is what mainly counts: to be honest towards yourself and only endeavor to express your convictions, your deepest feelings, without accepting to be conditioned by what others say or do. If you agree with them, no problem. But if you conform only in order to be accepted as “one of them”, you are betraying who you really are. You become a copy of somebody else, a fake double who will always be compared to the “original”. 
The above mentioned actresses will never be mistaken for someone else. But.. think of the many Hollywood starlets who look all so alike that you can’t almost distinguish one from another. Same hair, same body, same smile….Who would you rather be?
