Borrowing a YaYa's thread: Do you look like a famous person?

Over the course of my life, these are the famous people I’ve been told I look like:

Susan Anton
Kim Basinger
Julie Christie
Cousin It (not nice, but someone said it)
Cindy Crawford (insert raucous laughter here)
Mr. Ed (again, not nice, but someone said it)
Tippie Hedren
Lassie (what’s with all the animals people?)
Kim Novak
Julia Roberts (must be the big hair, otherwise – zero similarities)
Uma Thurman
Liv Ullman
Vanessa Williams (which is weird because I'm white, but she's gorgeous so I totally took it as a compliment)

And she isn't real, but I have had several people tell me I look like the Bratz doll Cloe. I even received one from my friend as a birthday gift. She calls it the "Jill Action Figure". Thanks, I think...
 
I have been told that I look like Julianne Moore ( I guess it's the red hair and pale, freckly skin). But the other day a mom of my daughter's schoolmate told me that she had taken her daughter to the grocery store and while at the check-out lane her daughter yelled that it was "Clara's mom on the newspaper" and the picture was of Nicole Kidman. My mother also tells me that I look like Nicole K. (but she has to say nice stuff to me because I'm her daughter).

When I was younger and SHE was younger, Marlo Thomas. Also, from the same era, Kate Jackson. That's sorta my natural build (well, until peri-M hit me. :))

My younger son who is 14 is a clone, an absolute clone, of the kid who plays Harry Potter in the movies, right down to the cleft chin.
DH and I loved it. My son didn't, big time. He has actually changed the shape of his glasses (which used to be round) and his haircut because of all the attention he was receiving. Every time a Harry movie comes out we hear it all again.

I get these ALL the time:

Renee Zellweger
Joey Lauren Adams
Jewel
Lee Ann Rimes

Notice a trend...squinty eyes!!!!! I had an old boss that called me Lee Ann more than my real name. I even had someone at Blockbuster Music ask for my autograph when they though I was Jewel.

My fiance insists I am the twin of Joey Lauren Adams (from Big Daddy and Chasing Amy) - of course, people tell him he looks just like Ben Affleck. I don't see it at all but I can't complain!

Shari - People tell me all the time that I look just like someone they know - I guess we have familiar faces!
 
In the past, I have been told that I look like Jane Fonda (circa 1980) and Barbara Feldon (agent 99 on "Get Smart"). I certainly don't see the resemblances.

Hmmm -- my fiancee says I look like Nicole Kidman or Heather Graham.
I don't know about that... :)

When I was younger people said I looked like Marie Osmond, but the last few years I've heard I look like Shania Twain. We have similar hair and build.
Susan C.M.
 
I guess I will chime in....

My hair has gotten darker as I have gotten older but I used to get alot of people comparing me to MacGyver, Richard Dean Anderson I believe is the actor's name. I also had people thinking I looked like the early to mid 80's version of Simon LeBon, the singer from Duran Duran.
I think hairstyle and haircolor goes a long way to determining what comes into people's minds when they look at a person and try to figure out who they look like.

Great thread!

I don't know about myself but my 16 y old son definitely looks like Ben Afflick!
 
Wouldn't it be fun to have a party or get-together and try to identify each other based on who we've been told we look like?
