Have you ever been mistaken for someone famous?

I was a Shirley Temple small child, then Elizabeth Taylor as an older child (I have bright dark blue eyes and had lots of dark wavy hair), this faded away of course and now is Caroline Quentin!

Not mistaken for, but told I resemble Jacqueline du Pre, Ingrid Bergman, Anneka Rice and Jodie Foster.
[identity crisis emoticon]

From your photo, Bags, I think you are definitely a Bergman look-alike!

Mr. G is a cross between Uncle Albert (only fools) and Captain Birdseye !!!,he thinks he resembles Sean Connery (I wish)

Glamma I bet you do!

In the late 70s I had a sort of Purdey cut and often got mistaken for Isla St Clair. Shut that door! But with shoulder length hair I too resembled Diana Rigg Sook! Now I resemble the back end of a bus.

I've never been mistaken for anyone famous but we used to stay in an hotel in Tenerife regularly (twice a year for about 10 years) and one of the waiters insisted my husband looked like Paul Newman!! (I wish!!!). I could never see the likeness myself but it did result in our receiving prompt service every time we stayed

Overheard people at the airport wondering if I was Judy Dench. Loved it!

I would love that too, scalpay ! Judi Dench is great!

Do you live on Scalpay?

I would be sooooooooooooo flattered - she is my total role model!
Once, some years ago when my hair was (still) red, a neighbour's little girl came to the door and asked me if I was "related " to Anne Robinson! Wish I could do the wink!

I meant

So you do gracesmum

Dench is chic gran personified. Her hair suits her face shape as well. My mate richard has likened me to ms Lumley and when I was a teacher in my 20s some of the kids did too (Purdey). She and I both have a toothy grin. But I would have to wear a lot of makeup and hairspray to achieve the rest of the look.

In my heyday I was likened to Nicola Pagett and/or Jenny Hanley of Magpie fame - but I doubt I'd ever have been mistaken for either of them!

Some one once said, the Russians were sending up a satellite to photograph my dark side . I was pregnant at the time!

jeni it's your bright side that we love

Sort of joke you should only make about yourself jeni

I was somewhat gross plump at the time.

But even so! Insensitive!

It was my junior partner in the practice. Rugby playing type! Never known for his tact!

My ex asked yesterday if I could do a northern accent,why? I asked as I was laughing and joking around,well you a re a dead ringer for Sarah Millican the stand up comedienne, a few years ago when I was working I was told I was like Anne Robinson as I had the small metal glasses and my hair was red (dyed) I could wink like her but quickly changed my hair and glasses.

When I was "in my prime" and had a "purdy" hairstyle I was told I looked like Anna Ford. I was flattered actually - always liked Anna.

My DH is often told he looks like Richard Branson and in the 70s was taken for Ginger Baker.
For myself, my daughter tells me I am the image of Kathy Burke!

IN the 90's, Dawn French (didn't mind that one) and many years ago - Paul Shanes daughter ... not flattering at all!!!
