I had a friend who always compared me to Kate Winslet -- not so much to her looks but to her personality - which I thought was such a great compliment -- I really adore her...

a lonnnnggg time ago, I was 17, I was told I looked like Meryl Streep. Mind you I was way skinnier and didn't wear glasses. I had to go home and look up who she was, but today she is my FAVORITE actress!

Okarol, you sure do look like Ingrid - no modelling? I did three shows and that was it - should have kept going, probably would have kept me in shape. I did a bridal fair, and two shows for the clothing store Casual Corners - one in the store and the other at a Marriot Hotel. Seems like so long ago.

I don't look like anyone famous but I'm sick and tired of people thinking I'm older than I am.  I am 46 and I get "Do you get the senior discount"?  or "How many grandchildren do you have"?  or they let me in free for stuff.  I'm going to start taking it.  If they think I'm old enough for a discount then fine I'll take it.

awesome comparison photos of Sluff and Hoss okarol! I will have to scan the photos. I have a new copier/fax/scanner/printer and have only used the print function. Hopefully I'll figure it out! I was quite a good disco dancer too. Had this partner who was awesome. Just a friend. I should play some disco and start dancing. Maybe I could shed a few pounds! Can you say John Travolta? One night, it was early and I actually worked as a waitress at a disco club. So I went into the dj room and put on Staying Alive, got up on the dance floor and did the JT thing...arm up, arm down. lol It was hilarious. my bad... >:D

I'd love to be able to change my avitar... lol

But when I was 20  30 I looked just like  Tony Perkins (Psycho)

middles aged it was Robert Goulet (though I doubt most of you will know who that was)

In old age it is Buddy Hackett

     Tried to post in here before, but for some reason it didn't work.  Oh well, here's another try.
     
      When I was in college (back when dinosaurs ruled the earth  :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; or the early 1970's) people told me looked like Rob Reiner. At that time "All In The Family" was popular and a first run Tv program.  Did I? Wel we had the same first name, same hair, same moustach, and even dressed alike.
      Ah, but we don't look anything alike now.  For one thing I have more hair  :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; No beard and I am younger.
      Sorry to put that awful picture in your heads.  Think happy thoughts, picture plesant things...it'll go away. 

     Dan you know Elvis didn't like Robert Goulet?  Ruined Tv's because of it.

Around the time I first met my husband, my nickname was 'scully' because of the character on X-files - I was told I resembled her, and one day I wore a pinstripe suit to work and that was that.

My other two primary ones - Kate Winslet and Drew Barrymore - have already been mentioned by others. I especially heard the Drew Barrymore one frequently. At the corporate show where I met Gwyn there was a woman who would say I looked so much like Lisa-Marie Presley that she could not bring herself to call me anything but Lisa. (My name is not Lisa. I just smiled and backed away from her.) My husband said that I reminded him of Cyndi Lauper - not so much in appearance but personality and the way I carried myself? I am still puzzling over that one.

Two that I am not really familiar with: a girlfriend said I looked just like Clara Bow and a date said I looked shockingly like one of the Gish actresses, but I cannot remember Lillian or Dorothy.

I am one of these people that others constantly claim they have met before, worked with before, seen before. I used to field a lot of bizarre questions on this topic.

Truthfullly Phil I was a dead ringer for Tony Perkins.  I've been chased for autographs people thinking I was him. 
Goulet I never  saw that.  That's what the priest said.  He always said I  sounded like him (which my "crooning" voice was similar.
The Buddy Hackett thing was after I started gaining weight and had the big fat cheeks. 

Now after a year of dialysis I guess I looked like one of those dead actors on Law and Order or something. 

There's a picture of me on facebook from August and another from Dec. 30, 2009.  I aged 40 years during that time it seems.

Me too Cariad, people are always telling me they know me, and I am lost.

 :rofl; Yes, it's quite confusing for all when it happens.

I never thought my husband looked like anyone until I saw Shrek. Gwyn and Shrek share many of the same facial expressions, especially when Shrek is aggravated, he looks just like Gwyn trying to be annoyed with the kids, but failing. Then we saw Shrek II and it was as if Gwyn had served as a model for the human Shrek.

Gwyn does not take this as any kind of compliment. :waiting;

    I don't know wether to say thanks or what. Thanks for the not as scruffy part.  I was looking for a picture of myself and my wife (now, not then...Isn't tht confusing?  :rofl; :rofl;) when we were dating back then to post.  Maybe, if I find it I'll post it and one of wht we look like now  in the IHD family pictures section when I find it.
