For me:


When I was younger, many times I was told I looked like Valerie Bertinelli
Also when I was younger, I was told I looked like Linda Ronstadt


More recently, my brother told me I looked like Roseanne Barr. (He's not my favorite brother anymore. ;-P)
Sassy-we must be dobblegangers too

Add in Pat Benatar (mostly my haircut at that time) and subtract Roseanne Barr--I was told I look like the same people.

I think it was my dark hair mostly. Who I looked like depended on the hair style at any given time.

No, the waiter found a picture of Liz Sheridan.

What is weird is someone tells me I look like so and so or have a "twin", and I see them and I don't see it at all, or maybe just tiny resemblance. Even looking at a picture of myself and a picture of them, still don't see it. ?

Another thing about resemblances especially to celebrities, is that celebrities get plastic surgery and age so differently, so if you looked like some celeb at 25 you might look nothing like them at 40. A lot of female celebrities maintain low body fat as they age so their face loses a lot of fat, that totally changes a person's appearance. Then they may get facial fillers and still look quite different a la Madonna.

Once I told a fellow cab passenger from work that she looked like whoopi goldberg. She got highly offended. I didn't think I said anything wrong, but apparently I did.

People don't like when you tell them they look like mediocre looking people.

As for myself, I've been told everything from Long Duck Dong, to the guy from 21 Jump Street, to the guy from the Hangover.

Obviously, there's a pattern there. None of those guys looks anything alike.

As for me, it doesn't matter. Someone could say I look the Hunchback of Notre Dame, and it'd roll right off me at this point in life...

Never anybody famous. But I tend to look like, just like, peoples cousins or aunts. That’s what they always say, “you look just like my aunt Mary“

I once took an online quiz it would tell you who you look like and it came up with someone who is so not like me that I just couldn’t believe they even picked it and I can’t even remember who it was. It was like a bombshell kind of person. Like Scarlett Johansson. I’m 180° the opposite direction, I look like people’s aunts. I’m short, a little dumpy, wear bright colors with patterns, glasses, no make up, and I like my hair kind of wavy curly and doing its own thing. Yeah, Scarlett Johansson.

My husband on the other hand, was a dead ringer for Rainer Werner Fassbinder, a German director.

And my father one time went to Europe with my mother. And everywhere he went people thought he was Henry Kissinger.

I won a contest at Englishtown raceway back in the late 80's for looking like a young Cheryl Tiegs.

I had a friend I hadn't seen since 2000 who died over 10 years ago. I found her daughter on Facebook a few years ago, thought she'd like some of the photos I had of her mom. She told me she wondered what happened to her mom's friend that looked like Helen Hunt. I can't understand that one.

At one time my hub had the hots for Jamie Lee Curtis and Melissa Etheridge. There was a time about 10 years ago where I thought I looked similar to Melissa.

Now, no one.

I would presume that ended whenever he cut his hair off, lol. I moved away so no idea how/if that progressed.
I dated a guy that looked like Andy Gibb.

I dated many men with that same type of look but Gregg will always be the only man I would have left my hub for. I have him on my ankle. About 10 years ago he played in Atlantic City. I signed hub and I up to pass out cards about his newest album. We got signed CD's. I had hoped we'd meet him too but we did not. I've seen Gregg about 4 times, he surely was not feeling well, it showed. I want my friend to ink his DOB/DOD and signature to his pic but between my health and my friends we just haven't made it happen.

I loved Blondie all of my life. Love her older stuff that wasn't popular. Seen her in concert, even threw her a rose as she walked off stage. I was the typical tween/teen, at least one whole wall was filled with Blondie posters. I have so much memorabilia.

When working at my dad's station in Watchung NJ, there was a gal that owned a limo service. She was Debbie's twin. You could put them next to each other, wouldn't be able to tell them apart. With Debbie adopted, I always wondered if they were related.

Being blond, people used to call me Blondie, or call me it because I was into them. Back when I went to Maximum PC's forum, I used Blondie instead of Roselvr. Thought it would be fun to be the "Blondie" that knew how to build and work on PC's.

Yes. A couple people have independently said I remind them of Liev Schreiber / actor.
Lucky guy! Liev Schreiber is yummy.

I’m from Southeast Asia, but my skin has become quite pale over time due to our dark terrible winters. So I doubt you guys would be able to compare my looks to a famous Hollywood actor.
