I was curious if anyone has been told they look like an actor/actress ever. I have gotten such an array of people i've been compaired to....it's pretty darn funny. I've gotten a few different ones (i bring this up becuase for the last 3 weeks almost every day someone says I look like someone and it's funny...
My number one people say is Angelina Jolie (which is a heck of a compliment...) the next would be valerie from Family Ties then there was ashley judd my favorite has to be Pamela Anderson, I almost fell over when someone said that....I have brown hair and no where close to her trademark boobs!! haha...
so i was curious if other people have gotten told stuff too.

Depending on my weight and hairstyle at the time (it's been every length and every color, I swear), I've gotten:
Kate Winslet Annie Lennox Drew Barrymore (which was the best... I have such a girl-crush on Drew!) Dolores O'Riordan (from the Cranberries)
I'm sure I'm forgetting a few, too. In reality, as you can see from my picture, I don't look like ANY of them. LOL!

When I worked as a teller(many years ago) a customer kept on insisting I looked like Teri Garr. Lately, my dad says I resemble Cher. Not sure how I feel about either one...

I get Sarah Chalke (Elliot on Scrubs) and Carrie Fisher (circa the Star Wars movies- not now).
I do not look even a teeny tiny bit like either.
(Edit: I added a picture of me so you can tell for sure I don't look like them. )

When I was younger, I got told a couple of times that I looked like the wife from Braveheart (the one whose throat gets slit ). When Meet the Parents came out, I was told I looked like Teri Polo (the fiance). No one said that about Meet the Fockers, though.

i've had people tell me that I look like the most random people ever.
I get drew barrymore on a monthly basis. My own mother cut out a picture of drew barrymore and thinks its identical to a picture she has of me with my hair pulled back like hers.
The first time I heard drew was from my hairdresser at 15, and people stilll tell me that all the time. (I don't see it)
I've also gotten lisa marie presley (yuck) about five times Reese Witherspoon about five times as well
hmm thats all I can think of now. I'll add more later if I can think of them.

Until she started her boxing career, we had to endure daily sightings of her. I can't count how many times she would pull up behind me at my favorite(and hers) coffee stand( a very small operation at that) and her boyfriend( I believe it was the one she hit with the tire rim) was absolutely obnoxious! I knew the lady that ran the place pretty well, and she had some pretty good stories to tell of Tanya's drive through visits. I guess if anyone ever said that again, you could try hitting them in the knees???? LOL...:)

but I am told that I am not an exact Uma, I resemble her (Kill Bill recent era)... one of my guy friends told me that I look like Uma but prettier... yeah, right! I wish! I think I get it for being tall and thin... who knows. And it might have to do with the going blonde thing.
Once my hairdresser told me I looked like Bridget Fonda, but I only got that the one time... I know she is the hooker in the Kiss of the Dragon Jet Li movie, I don't know what else she is in.
I also get alot the whole "someone I know" or "me when I was younger" thing.

You do look like her! If your hair was blonde, definitely!
I have gotten Miyam Bialik from Blossom, Emilie, from that French movie of the same name and Lisa Loeb. Obviously that is not my picture to compare any of the above to, so who knows!

Sinead and Nat told me I looked like Drew too. I don't see it, I told them. I've also been compared to Winnie from the Wonder Years (SHUDDER!), and Jodie Foster when I had short hair and braces.

Back in the 80s when I had short hair, I was told a few times that I looked like Molly Ringwald (Pretty in Pink, 16 Candles, Breakfast Club.) I never could see the resemblance.
I look a lot like my Mom, but she's not a celebrity to everyone!

But I was once told that if I put on a lab coat, I would look like Bill Nye the Science Guy.
Plus, various pictures of me (which I posted once a while back) make me look either like Steven Hawking or Christopher Reeve. Guess I have this thing for looking like disabled guys in wheelchairs.

Ya know, I've never, I think, been told that I look like anyone famous! I guess I have my own unique look I do believe we each have a twin out there though! (I think Cara or someone said I look like her old college roomate).

Well I have got a few good ones. Celine Dion is one. I don't agree with that. The others are Melina Kantacarenes (sp?) from the show Providence and CSI and Nina Vardalos from My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Since I have Greek blood in me those are not surprising but Celine Dion????? Wish I had her voice and money!

It's rather eerie, but we look like sisters. I should send in a photo. Put some make-up on me and call me the 'subatomic' Rose.
Kate.
P.S. That's a compliment, incidentally. I look in the mirror and see someone that is a displaced pixie or elf or fairy or porcelain doll...a mythical, mystic creature.

I used to get two quite often, but I never really saw either of them at all.. When my hair was quite blonde, I got told one day that I looked like Renee Zellweger (this was when Jerry Maguire came out) and I was like, "Okay...." and didn't see it at all. Well, over the next couple of years I got it LOADS! Even a couple of years later, I started getting it again.. Apparently, someone said it's 'cause I have "fish lips" (nice) and blue eyes.. Okay..
When my hair was really dark and straight, I got Katie Holmes a few times. I don't see that one AT ALL! People are nuts.

Bill went to the very prestigious Sidwell Friends in Washington, DC where I attended also. I met him at a reunion and got to talk to him for a while. Bill and Chelsey Clinton were at the same event (yawn).

Steph, you've always reminded me of Meilssa Joan Hart, from "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" in your picture.
I've gotten Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon and Josie Davis from 90201 (she played Camille).

Now tell me, do I look like her? DO I? I got that ever since I was a little kid: "You look just like Norma Shearer!"
So how many of you know who Norma Shearer was?
Anyone?
Here's a hint: it was before the movies had sound......

Or you look like that chic from the Adam's Family (Christina Ricci). When that happens I feel insulted, I mean she didn't really look her best in that movie. I must look pasty and pale and grumpy!
