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)

This is a good thread Sassy. It gives an insight into what some of the people whose posts we have been reading look like.

I have a slight build, conventional haircut, good vocabulary, wear glasses, and tend to keep quiet (for a while) before voicing an opinion -- on a few occasions I've been likened to Woody Allen.

Not a comparison I'm entirely comfortable with.

As mentioned up thread, I think many people associate demeanor and other characteristics, rather than strictly physical appearance. I had an elderly women in my building say I look like her Doctor with the Cleveland Clinic a few years ago. So I look him up, and other than having short hair and looking like he was balding there was no resemblance. He had very different facial bone structure.

Another funny one is a partner organization my employer works with has an executive, whom, whenever we are attending common events, I get someone calling me his name. We have a sort of resemblance (he's a few years older, bald on top and buzzed gray hair - so we now jokingly refer to each other as brother.

For more fun, an opposite sex celeb look alike for me would be a mix of Stana Katic (Castle) 60% and Lyndsy Fonseca (40%) - since I was thinking of that cult classic Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde on Halloween.

I'm guessing it was right after you did some self electrical outlet rewiring work.

Yes, definitely and the chubby cheeks (for me).

I am always told I look like the girl from Saturday Night Fever who danced with John Travolta. I don't even remember her name but I've been told that more times than I can remember.

I personally take Einstein as a compliment.

He had good cheekbones...
