That got me thinking of all the people I've been told I look like through the years and more recently from readers here and on Instagram. This is a long, photo-heavy post, so get comfortable!
Adrienne Barbeau...
OK maybe, but not because of my face😁.
Speaking of boobs, I've been told several times that I look like Laine Kazan
Gosh, that's actually fair! But really, no one ever noticed anything about her except the size of her knockers. I'm starting to sense a trend.
Let's not forget Jennifer Saunders...
...all I need is a ukulele
I even looked like Tiny Tim as a kid! It really is a pity I'm not musical!
and really, this is just scratching the surface! I definitely need to do a part two, as I've left off so many of the people I've been told I resemble. I guess I just have an interesting face! I've had people approach me convinced they know me, and I always wonder which celebrity they're thinking of!
What about you? Do you resemble anyone famous?
Gilda Radner & Lainie Kazan are the two I have always thought you favored.
ReplyDeleteAs a brunette, I was often told I look like Linda Ronstadt, Sandra Bullock, and my famous third cousin - Ava Gardner. As a blonde, I've been told I look like Anna Nicole, the singer Pink, Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Ann Jillian, Loni Anderson, Diana Dors and (insert any platinum blonde female celebrity here).
What a fun post. I can definitely see some resemblances. Jennifer Saunders, and especially Tiny Tim cracked me up. I'm sure you'd be able to find a ukulele at one of your regular thrift store haunts if you waited long enough. When I was about 18, there was a one hit wonder band I can't remember the name of, and was told I looked like its singer. In my punk years I was a Siouxsie look alike, especially the hair. And recently, I was told by a flea market trader that I looked like a presenter on one of the Belgian commercial television stations. I was kind of chuffed as I love that presenter's retro looks. xxx
ReplyDeleteThat first outfit is divine!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post. I can see the similarity with the young Bette Middler.
As a blonde it was Barbra Streisand I was always compared to, now it's Cher! x
Lovely post, mwhaha. I totally agree on dressing like a 70's Betty Midler, she rocked! and Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a RockStar!. Most of the people comments are pretty unexpected, sometimes in a good way!
ReplyDeleteI've been told that I look like a series character that I've never watched, Penélope García from 'Criminal Minds'. I think she looks fab in the pictures I've saw so I'm becoming ridiculously proud of this shit!

When young and permed, I got Emma Samms or a young Angela Lansbury. When fat, Rosie O’Donnell. Now: Edna Mode from THE INCREDIBLES.
ReplyDeleteMarika Rokk is the entertainer I've been told I resemble. Yes, I had to Google her, too, but when younger and slimmer, there was a match in our blonder youth.
ReplyDeleteOne could do much worse than have one's style compared with RBG! But Laine Kazan could be a sibling, especially around the eyes.
*See "Es is nur die Liebe", rather than "Schlagentanz" on YouTube.
ReplyDeleteI love your first outfit;it's just fabulous! You are far prettier than the woman you were compared to wearing that first outfit. I have no idea who Gilda Radner & Lainie Kazane are but I think you are you and there is no like you anywhere!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was about 17 I had an afro and was often liken to Yvonne Goolagong - an Aboriginal Australian tennis player!
Have a great week.
Mmm, Helena Bonham Carter. I'd seize that compliment. I reckon you and she would have an ace time with each other's wardrobes - you both like a fun accessory, and give no stuffs for what people in general think of your outfits.
ReplyDeleteI rarely get likened to anyone, though I've had a few comments in past months that make me think I'm channelling a more identifiable 60s look nowadays.
I still say you have Kathryn Hepburn's beautiful wavy hair! : )
ReplyDeleteAnd as I look at those two photos of you when you were much younger, I see a striking resemblance to your son.
fabulous post! love your humor!
ReplyDeletebette and helena are not to bad ;-D i think its a kind of kompliment to be compared to a celeb.....
i was given m.dietrich, g.kelly and e.taylor when i was younger.
xxxx
@Bibi
ReplyDeleteYou remind me of Ava Gabor and a little bit of Barbara Eden (but not in the Genie getup).
@Ann
I want to see you looking like Souxsie!!!
@Vix
Definitely Cher-but better!
@Senora Allnut
That's accurate, you do look like her. I've never watched the show-wonder if it is any good?
@Beth
You remind me of Blair Brown!
@Veronica
You remind me of my great aunt. She had perfect hair, and could knit a blanket whilst watching television AND carrying on a conversation. She was remarkable-like you!
@Mim
You remind me a bit of a very young Rusty Warren (of Knockers Up fame). Not once she got old though.
@Emily
When Danny was very little he looked like his Dad, now he looks more like me. He gets told he looks like Jim Morrison, and he's not entirely thrilled with that.
@Beate-you still look like Grace Kelly!
That's a lovely photo of your younger self, Goody :)
