Similarities net Boyertown woman a TV spot

A Boyertown resident was lucky to have 15 minutes of fame on national television.

In a celebrity look-alike contest on the Regis and Kelly Show, Georganne McIntyre was betting she looked like Bette Midler.

McIntyre, who teaches belly dancing at the Inner Life Holistic Center, Gilbertsville, and promotes any body dancing, “any shape, size or age,” was told about the show's contest by a woman she met at a spiritual/holistic expo.

“It was 10:30 p.m. when I read the e-mail and I knew if I didn’t enter it right then that I’d forget about it,” said McIntyre, who is also a nurse.

She was contacted about a week later by the show's producers who thought she'd be a shoe-in.

“I felt like I needed to do this because somebody had put it right into my lap,” McIntyre said of the July 15 show. Unfortunately McIntyre did not win, but you can watch her on the show's episode below.


You can also see a West Chester University student who was told she looked like America Ferrara in the episode below from July 13.
