Diane Keaton in Annie Hall. I watched the film and could see it!

A woman once told me “you’ve got a look of Cher about you”.

She was a patient in a psychiatric unit so never been sure how accurate an assessment that was.

Back in the day a couple of people told me I looked like Claudia Schiffer.

An ex reckoned I was like a cross between Kylie Minogue and Nicole Kidman.

Another ex thought I looked much like a young Glenda Jackson.

I’m good with all those, even though I’m a budget version, with wonky teeth.

Shove a pair of shiny, dangly earrings on and I'll raise you Pat Butcher!

Jamie Lee Curtis, when I was (quite a bit) younger. Couldn't see it myself, but it was said to me several times by different people!

My Mum was told she looked like Deanna Durbin (famous singer/actress in the 30s and 40s). Have googled her, and although she looks lovely, I think Mum was even more beautiful Smile

DP's dear departed auntie looked the spitting image of Arsene Wenger. She had a real thing about him too and didn't understand why we found it so funny!

I used to get told I looked like Cher and Jennifer Rush. I think it was more my image than a real resemblance.

Meryl

I'll take it

LemonGoby · 13/09/2020 01:27

A young Faye Dunaway - but that was when I was much younger!

When I was younger a lot of people said I looked like Catherine Zeta Jones. Friends of my Nan thought I looked like Eva Gardiner. Sadly a fair few years and 5 stone later people are too polite to tell me who I look like now. Grin

DiggerDave · 13/09/2020 01:44

FFS. 😂 That's the most random autocorrect ever. Meant to say Prince Harry, although I'm not as ginger. Also Jorah Mormont from GOT.

An ex used to tell me I looked like her in Bonnie and Clyde too (am possibly more Ronnie Barker than Bonnie Parker!).

I've also had Margi Clarke, Maxine Peake, Leanne Battersby and Allie Novak from Wentworth.

Downunderduchess · 13/09/2020 02:08

Bindi Irwin. Photos of me from my younger days are very similar to her now.

vlarder · 13/09/2020 02:25

I get Nigella Lawson all the time - it's the cheekbones, boobs and brows that do it. Could be worse but given that I'm a 27 yo who tries to keep her curves to a minimum it's pretty annoying!

Englishgirl9 · 13/09/2020 02:29

Got told I looked like Billie Piper by a guy in a bar. I asked whether it was the turned up nose, he said: "no, you've just got that secret call-girl look about you" Shock

Oblomov20 · 13/09/2020 02:35

Bridget Jones - Hmm
Sandi Tosvig - Angry

Cynthia Nixon from Sex and the City

m00Ma · 13/09/2020 02:58

Justine from Elastica, and Sharleen Spiteri from Texas.
Also Concorde (rest in peace)

@diggerDave perhaps the all-knowing a.i. was alluding to Harry in his Eton days ;)

AnnaFiveTowns · 13/09/2020 03:09

When I was in my early twenties and living in France I got told on a daily basis that I looked like Vanessa Paradis. We're the same age and at the time we did look very similar. As we've both got older we look less alike.

Mads Mikkelsen.

They're not wrong. Looking at pics of him I see my brothers, too.

Kinkybutkind · 13/09/2020 03:10

Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffanies, by several of the fathers of the women I’ve dated over the years and a couple of the more cultured guys.

Demi Moore was another one, but I think all we had in common was the hair.
