I look just like Christie Brinkley in that swimsuit photo. (I wish. ) ^^ For the win, no matter what comes after. I've been told I look like Leeza Gibbons. (Or, ya know, Audrey Hepburn.) SaveSaveSave

I think I told this story before. About 14 years ago, my SIL and I took the kids to a local provincial park. We were walking through the barn seeing animals and this little boy comes over and he is staring at me. He was about 7 or so. I smiled at him and he just stood there. We moved on and he followed. His mom was near by but not monitoring him. I thought it was strange because he just kept smiling at me. This went on for a few minutes and finally my SIL says "did you need something? to the boy. He looks at me with a huge smile and says to her "I just want her autograph please" Me and SIL look at each other and I said " you want my autograph? Why?" He says.... "Aren't you VELMA from Scooby Doo?" From that day on, my SIL calls me Velma. Lol Everybody loves Velma more than the other one! Thank you for the smile today!

When I was in middle and high school, I had 4 or 5 people stop me and tell me I looked like Linda Blair. I always hoped it was the good version and not the exorcist version. When I was in college and for a number of years after, I had people tell me I looked like Mariah Carey. She was cute then so I was fine with that. Linda Blair and Mariah Carey do not look like each other at all so I don't really understand it. I do think I have aged better than Mariah.

I get told that I look like Allie Grant, especially when Weeds was all over TV ..... She played Isabelle Hoades. I think it's the brows and the big smile.

I get Celine Dion and Kristen Wiig all the time from random strangers. I don't really see it but since I have heard both multiple times I'm guessing there must be some truth to it.

I get Diane Keaton - I'm the plainer, taller, heavier version I think it is my straight hair, coloring, and glasses. I am pretty low maintenance in makeup and dressing style too.

When the movie The Ring was out, I'd get Naomi Watts all the time, however, the past few years I get Amy Adams ( which I definitely don't see! ).

When Helen Hunt was on Mad About You and I wore my hair in a bob, people would say I looked like her (I didn't). Now I usually hear Kate Winslet. Which basically means I have messy blonde hair - as they don't look anything like each other and I don't look like Kate Winslet either. I used to get Helen Hunt all the time too. No one lately though.

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

When I was a senior in high school I was a dead ringer for a young Nicole Kidman. I had a perm and looked like a poodle, I swear. But as it grew out a little, it got better. The last time someone mentioned a resemblance I was in my 30's; that made me happy. I haven't had a "you look like..." comment in many years. I looked very young for my age. Nicole is 14 in this photo; I was 17 when I looked like this. If I can find my Yearbook I'll add a photo of me.

I get Cameron Diaz a lot and I don't see it at all. Maybe bc of the eyes?
Sometimes I get Meryl Streep.

See my avatar.
And if I'm casting my own bio, I'm being played by Charlize Theron (the J'adore model, not the one in Monster, though that one might be apt if you got me out of bed too early on a Sunday morning lol).
I don't really look like any celebrity that I can think of.

When very young I was told I looked like Joan Jett. (I also dyed my hair very dark back then) Then in my 30s it was Joan Cusack and I don't see that one at all. I do have big lips and a thin face...I don't know. And recently someone said I looked like the Mom on that show "Mom." I guess I just look like everyone else... haha!

Kate Walsh. I thought she did not have a pretty face and I was always disappointed. No one said I had her body, which would have been GREAT!
I wish I looked like Sandra Bullock. That'd be a win for me!

i have been likened to brigitte fonda. but clearly not lately, cuz well, what has brigitte fonda done lately?
some guy told me i looked like "that hot chick from that movie". back then (early 90s) he was referring to laura dern. i said "wait, isn't she that sleezy chick in wild orchids?" and his response was "only if i am lucky". lol!!!
so clearly, i have the blond, angular thing going.

I've only been told these on one occasion, both when I was much younger. One was Jessica Alba (which I laughed off but thought was sweet -- must be the half Hispanic thing . . . ha!). The other was a brunette version of Brett Butler (Grace Under Fire) both in face and voice. This one I found more believable. I do sound like her. Unfortunately.

An ex said I reminded him of Linda Cardellini (Freaks & Geeks). I can see that! My siblings look more like celebrities than I do though. My sister resembles Judy Garland and my brother looks like David Duchovny!

I've always thought Julia Louis-Dryfuss, but I have never been told that. I was told someone recently, but I can't remember who. Hmmmm

I did one of those silly FB quizzes to tell me which celeb I look like, it came up with Kim Kardashian then Angelina Jolie. Seriously I couldn't look less like either of them. Then there was the weirdo in the pub who told me I look like Harry Potter I just look like me and I'm good with that! I had a coworker tell me I looked like Superman (Christopher Reeve)! She said it was my nose and cheek bones! My kids and their friends, as well as a few neighbors called me Jamie Lee (Curtis). SaveSave
