So producers found a reasonable facsimile. A lick of makeup, a smattering of hair product and Cher is reborn in the body of 19-year-old Toronto native RACHEL BLANCHARD, right, who has been on two TV series before but has visited Beverly Hills only a few times. "I don't think it's a conscious thing to make me look like Alicia...
