'Hey, You Look Like That Spy'

It's Anna Chapman's world. The rest of us just live in it.
She could be accused Russian spy Anna Chapman's twin, but she's no double agent.

A Brooklyn redhead is turning heads and drawing stares because she's a dead ringer for the sexy secret agent.

Liza Marie Johnston said it started on Facebook when pals noted her remarkable resemblance to Chapman. Complete strangers have told her, "Hey, you look like that spy."

"They look at me, they look at the picture [of Chapman] and say, 'Oh my God!'" said Johnston, 30.

A grad student who waits tables at the Hillstone restaurant in the Citicorp Building, Johnston said even her regular customers are doing doubletakes.

"One I've known for years told me as a joke, 'I have to have to ask you three personal questions to make sure you are who you are,'" she said.

Johnston blames it all on Mary-Kate Olsen.

A brunette from Pittsburgh who moved here to become an actress, Johnston said she dyed her hair red when she was cast as Mary-Kate in an off-Broadway production of "The Misadventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley."

Now a music education student at NYU, Johnston said all the attention has been "kind of awesome."
At least we know who'll be playing Chapman in the TV movie of the week that's sure to come.
