How Sarah Palin is helping Tina Fey become richer
By ANISaturday, April 24, 2010
LONDON - Tina Fey, who won an Emmy for her satirical portrayal of Sarah Palin, says playing the former Alaska governor has been quite lucrative for her.
Fey, 39, stepped into Palin’s shoes once again for Saturday Night Live last week - the first time after 2008.
“Every time I played her I made 400 US dollars, so blammo,” the Mirror quoted Fey, as saying.
Fey also revealed she never thought she looked like Palin.
She recollected: “I looked at her and thought she had brown hair and glasses, we don’t look alike. Then my husband said: ‘No, you guys look alike!’ And then it became a flood of emails from cousins and calls, and it became apparent that whether or not we did look that much alike, that people thought we looked alike.”
Fey added: “That’s all. It did end up being a gift.” (ANI)
