Brooklyn redhead drawing stares over her resemblance to Russian spy

A Brooklyn redhead has revealed that she has been getting unwanted attention just because she resembles Russian spy Anna Chapman.

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

Johnston a music education student at NYU said all the attention has been "kind of awesome".

"I mean, I don't want to be a Russian spy, but who doesn't want to be a secret agent?" she added.
