The Born Identity

Because she saw Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally and then soon after watched him host the Academy awards, Laurette thought there were two of him, one about ten years older than the other. She insisted on referring to them as "The Crystal Brothers" and couldn’t be convinced otherwise. And so 'The Crystal Brothers' became part of our arcane little lexicon. One will say this phrase when the other mistakenly identifies an actor. And it's usually me. I’m not good with names and don’t go to movies much. I’ve never been able to tell my Langellas from my Damons.
