As one more person to chime in here, many people in my family chime in on how my cousin looks so much like photos of my grandmother when she was young [so much that in some photos you could almost think it was the same person] -- much more so than any of my aunts do or ever did.

Before knowing it was her mother, Kira picked her "grandmother" out of the picture based upon how much they look alike. TV shows often use the same actor to play an ancestor when they want to show how much that ancestor looks like their descendant. That similarity was how Kira picked her out in the picture. They weren't going to scour the acting world for someone that looks REALLY like Kira but not EXACTLY alike.
