Eileen from Coronation Street and Dawn French. Guess it's the weight and the wit.

In my youth a fat scully (Gillian Anderson) Didn't mind that as I was indeed quite chubby

Also a young Bette Middler. That I did mind.......

If only it were still Gillian Anderson

@Gobolino80

DP thinks I look like Rhona Mitra, I'll take that! I've also been told I look like Sandra Bulllock. A waitress at Frankie & Benny's once really enthusiastically told me I look like a wrestler! I was like Hmm, someone called Lita, I had no idea who she is but DP assured me that was a good thing.

Lita is gorgeous!
