Clinton's 'body woman,' Huma Abedin is engaged to U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.). Abedin has been Clinton's omnipresident personal assistant, always at her side since her 2000 Senate race. (Meanwhile, no word yet on whether there'll be wedding bells anytime soon for Chelsea.)

Hope Davis, June 7, 2009Julianne Moore, May 7, 2009Actress Hope Davis, left, will play Hillary Clinton in the forthcoming movie The Special Relationship, which will chronicle the relationship between U.S. President Bill Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair in the late 1990s. Originally, Julianne Moore, right, was to play Hillary Clinton, but she had to step down due to a scheduling conflict.

Who do you think looks more like Clinton? I vote for Davis.
