unsinkable Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Back in the 90s I was told by DOZENS of people that I resemble(d) Martina Hingis. They'd say if they saw her on TV, they say, "OMGosh! It's unsinkable! When did she become a tennis pro?!?!" :rofl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Back in the day, I was told I resembled Princess Diana. I have one photo where there's a distinct resemblance, right down to the shy-looking blush from her engagement days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Dup. Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Angelina Jolie. Oh wait. This is reality. When I was a teenager I was told by 1 or 2 people that I looked like Sarah Jessica Parker. But then I think I kindof grew into my face and I haven't been told that since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onceuponatime Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 The only person I've been told I look like is Mara Wilson of Matilda. I was the spitting image of her in my childhood pictures, no so much now. She is in her early twenties and I am almost 50. I do still have the same hair and eye color, and general face shape. I just look a lot older. :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniBlondes Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 When I was young people used to tell me that I looked like Drew Barrymore. My friends even nicknamed me Drew. I worked in a grocery store and I had this creepy old man stalker who would come in and stand there with Drew Barrymore magazines and books and just stare at me. Then I got old. And fat. Me no looky-like her anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indigomama Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 When I was a girl and teen people told me I looked like Brooke Sheilds.

Violet Crown Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Not me, but my father-in-law is a striking twin of former UK Prime Minister John Major. All through the '90s people were informing him of the resemblance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy in TX Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Once, when I had recently lost weight, a couple of people told me I looked like Jodie Foster. I think my cheekbones were looking a bit sculpted then, lol. Otherwise I can't account for it. Oh, and my father was the absolute image of Richard Long, who played Jarrod on Big Valley, for those of you are old enough to remember that!

musicianmom Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 back in my 20s I had sort of a Gillian Anderson look.

I must say that every time I see your avatar, I think of SJP. I believe (for me, at least) it's your hairline & the way your hair looks, even though it's darker than SJP's. I always liked SJP's hair back in the day (Footloose, etc). I so wanted her hair back then!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was neat. I guess because I think Martina Hingis is attractive and it fed my ego! :hurray: Yay me! LOL. I love women's faces and bodies and voices, tho'. I'll point out women to DH and he'll be like, "Didn't even notice her." And I'll be like, "Mr. unsinkable! How did you miss those big brown eyes?" Or whatever caught my attention. And he shrugs.

Scarlett Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 So do you all think you look like the person/s that others think you do? I do not think I look like Connie Chung. First I'm not Asian! Weird thing though is the Chinese lady who works at a restuarant we used to go to all the time asked me if I was Asian! Hilarious to all my family because no, I do not look Asian.

Guest inoubliable Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 When Titanic came out, people were forever telling me I looked like Kate Winslet. They still do. I don't see it. Last year I had a creeper (mutual friend who turned out to be a creeper) who insisted that I looked like Olivia Wilde. I had no idea who that even was. I had to google her. I don't see that one, either, but after I told some people they said, "Oh yeah! I can't believe I never saw the resemblance before!".

SpecialClassical Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I used to look like Lisa Welchel, and I would probably look like her now if I dropped a bunch of weight. Actually I think I looked more like her older, plainer sister. My husband has been told many times that he looks like Kiefer Sutherland. Frankly I think K.S. is kind of ornery looking and my husband is very sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
