Hello, my name is Lisa Jakub. But most people in a restaurant/dentist's office/yoga studio dressing room, call me 'Hey, you look like that girl from 'Mrs. Doubtfire'/'Independence Day'/'Rambling Rose.' There is a good reason for that. I am that girl. More accurately, I was that girl.

For the most part, people don't know who I am.

I guess people recognize me, but I'm not a household name. Two out of every five people who come up to me know my name. The one thing I don't want is to be followed by paparazzi.

No one really knows me. People think they know me.

I can't believe that people actually know my first and last name. I think it's really, really, gosh-darn neat.

It's funny to be discovered by a lot of people who didn't know you before. People always used to say, 'Do you shop at Home Depot?' or 'Does your kid go to such and such school?' They want to know why they know me, even if they don't know my name. I don't think that's a bad thing, by the way; I think it's nice to be kind of anonymously famous.

I don't tell many people my last name.

Everyone has always called me by my last name. Once people get to know me, they don't call me Sara anymore.

Being a known person is pretty much all I've known. I don't remember much of a time when people didn't know who I was.
