How Sarah Palin is helping Tina Fey become richer

London: Tina Fey, who won an Emmy for her satirical portrayal of Sarah Palin, says playing the former Alaska governor has been quite lucrative for her.Fey, 39, stepped into Palin`s shoes once again for Saturday Night Live last week - the first time after 2008.

"Every time I played her I made 400 US dollars, so blammo," the Mirror quoted Fey, as saying. Fey also revealed she never thought she looked like Palin. She recollected: "I looked at her and thought she had brown hair and glasses, we don’t look alike. Then my husband said: ``No, you guys look alike!`` And then it became a flood of emails from cousins and calls, and it became apparent that whether or not we did look that much alike, that people thought we looked alike." Fey added: "That’s all. It did end up being a gift." ANI
