Doran Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Years ago. Let me rephrapse that. YEARS AGO!...it was not particularly uncommon for people to tell me that I looked like Sigourney Weaver. I never really got it. But, it happened fairly often, in comments offered by complete strangers, so I guess it was real enough. Who do/did you (your dh) resemble?

Frankie Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Superman. My DH, not me. He had the Clark Kent glasses, he had the build, and he got the comments all the time. What's sad is I don't have any photos of his Clark Kent days. He hated it and didn't have his glasses for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) It's not true, and she's not what she used to be, and I still do not look as good as she does even today, but about 15 years ago, somebody at work told my dh he thought I looked like Kathleen Turner. Truly, it was just the figure fullness and the highlights. lol But it's fun thinking that for one moment in time I was hawt to someone besides the guy who married me. lol Edited October 4, 2008 by LibraryLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Virginia Dawn Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 My dh has been told that he resembles Anthony Quinn. However, I think dh has a much kinder face. No scowl. My dd has been compared to Cher. But again, I think she is much prettier than Cher. My oldest son has that dark hair-mustache-goatee look of Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Caribbean. My daughter thinks I looked like Mara Wilson (?) when I was young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Me Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 When I was younger, my grandmother always told me I looked like Valerie Bertenelli.

Happy Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Most of my life, people have told me I look like Jodi Foster. Especially during the 'Silence of the Lamb' days because I was still wearing contacts and had long hair similar to hers. Never thought much of it until she landed on the cover of 'People' as one of the 50 Most Beautiful Women in the World. Yep, I surely do look just like her. ;) Someone mentioned the similarity just three or four weeks ago. If she ever needs someone to play an older and slightly (:D) heavier sister, I'm there.

ereks mom Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Me: At various times, I have been told that I look like John Denver (yes, really!), Elizabeth Montgomery (Samantha from Bewitched), and Priscilla Presley.

LadyAberlin Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) In highschool I was told Audrey Hepburn, in college Julia Roberts. Having kids and breastfeeding has made me lose too much weight and so I don't look like that anymore. When ds was 2 or 3 I had several people tell me that he looked like Heath Ledger or Matthew Mcconaughey. He's almost 5 now and I haven't had anyone say anything recently about it. I just wanted to add that dh is hispanic and people always think he is Polynesian or Middle Eastern instead.

Jean in Newcastle Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Dh looks just like Bruce Lee. He was visiting Bruce Lee's grave once in college and his friend told the other tourists that dh was Bruce Lee's cousin.

Amy in Orlando Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 When my hair was normal and semi straight and short AND when I was very thin, I was told often I looked like Princess Diana.

gandpsmommy Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 When I was in high school people used to say that my twin sister and I reminded them of Jennifer Gray from Dirty Dancing, but I never saw Dirty Dancing, so I'm not sure if that was a compliment or not? Some of dh's coworkers think I resemble Claire Danes, but I don't think so at all, and again, I'm not sure that would be a compliment? Dh has been likened to Dave Matthews. In fact a group of teenagers in a restaurant once were convinced that he was Dave Matthews and he was just denying it because he didn't want to be bothered by fans. He has also been compared to Mel Gibson. I just think he looks like himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura in VA Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Years ago. Let me rephrapse that. YEARS AGO!...it was not particularly uncommon for people to tell me that I looked like Sigourney Weaver. I never really got it. But, it happened fairly often, in comments offered by complete strangers, so I guess it was real enough. Who do/did you (your dh) resemble? Well, when I was 15, I had 2 different guys at different times (who did not know each other and lived in different parts of the state) tell me I reminded them of Bo Derek. Now, that's weird because I have always had dark hair. I thought there must be something to it, since 2 people told me ;). They were probably just trying to get in my pants:glare:. When I was in my 20's people said I looked like Sigourney Weaver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
