<p>This subject came up on the “Weight Loss for Dummies” thread when we were describing ourselves. I found it funny that some of the posters apparently look nothing like the way I visualize them.</p>
<p>If you had to pick a celebrity whom you think looks most like you, who would it be?</p>
<p>I have been told I look something like Suzanne Plechette and also compared to Cindy Williams from Laverne and Shirley.<br>
Before we go any further we will begin with the assumption that none or few of us is STAR material and that the celebrities we may resemble are, most likely, a more polished, nipped and tucked version of our humble selves.</p>
<p>Ive just copied my post from the other thread.
*I am the same height & basic body type/facial structure as Cyndi Lauper but my hair ( red blond)doesn’t change as much( an understatement!) & she is thinner. Plus I am from Seattle, I don’t have an accent- although some people think I am from the UK/European. * </p>
<p>A bearded and somewhat nerdier version Steve Buscemi.</p>
<p>No one would mistake me for Steve Buscemi, but if for some reason I became famous and a movie were made of my life, Steve Buscemi might be cast in the leading role. It certainly wouldn’t be a “beefy” actor like Jim Belushi or a classically handsome guy like George Clooney.</p>
<p>I have at various times been told I looked like Ali McGraw, Sigourney Weaver, and Courtney Cox. Do any of you remember the first surrogacy gone wrong case involving Baby M? Well at the time, I thought I was the perfect combination of her surrogate mom and her adoptive mom - they should have given me the baby! The person I look most like though is the generic woman. I have never known anybody who was mistaken for someone else more than me. For many years I was accosted practically every day by people who insisted that I was someone else. It was very weird.</p>
<p>When I was younger I was often told I looked like Natalie Wood. We lived in the same area and many times I was stopped on the street. About 6 months after she died Robert Wagner came into the restaurant I was working in, and as he began to walk past me, looked up, and stopped cold. He smiled a beautiful smile (he was very handsome), and asked, “has anyone ever told you that you look like Natalie Wood?” I smiled back, said, yes, and we went our separate ways. Stranger still…she (Natalie Wood) and I share a birthday, 20 years apart (her being the older). It’s almost eerie.</p>
<p>Twenty-five years ago I was told a handful of times by strangers that I bore a striking resemblance to Robert Urich. I didn’t see it, but what are you gonna do. Following his death I never heard such comparison again, which is morbidly understandable. Today, I look in the mirror and see William Conrad.</p>
<p>Debra Winger. I also have one of those faces where women come up to me all the time and say “you look just like my sister/cousin/college roommate/etc.”</p>
<p>Me - I have been told that I remind people of much shorter (5’6") Geena Davis (I don’t have her smile- ooh maybe when the braces come off!!) or a brunette Mariel Hemmingway. It’s those high and wide chubby cheeks. And the key word is REMIND.</p>
<p>When the pictures of Amy Fisher as a teenager first came out, my friends from HS and college all commented on how much she looked like me at that age. </p>
<p>At this point, my closest celebrity resemblance is to Miss Piggy.</p>
