For this one, we're going to take the Sliding Doors idea and run with it. For example, what if she finished her Anthropology course instead of dropping out to act? What if in one life she was the acclaimed actress of such films as Shakespeare in Love and Iron Man, and in the other she was living with tribes in the Amazon?

In one life, she married Chris Martin from megaband Coldplay. In the other, she did a thesis on war drums and married a stuffy college professor. In one life, she walked the red carpet ten times a year and had an entourage of stylists to sculpt her every look. In the other, she forgot what makeup was, and was happy enough to wash the river mud off her feet. Now that we've caught a glimpse of her dual lives, we can confirm: she's beautiful in both of them.
