My son's friend told me I looked like Wendy James ( I had to Google her!) I could see absolutely no resemblance.
Main reason was that he actually meant Wendy Richards, (Pauline Fowler off of Eastenders)

In my 30s I was told that I looked like Joan Collins!

When Cilla Black was first on the scene she was about 18 and I was 16 and people said I looked just like her and then she had her nose done!

Back in the 60's two young lads in Oxford Street asked for my autograph and said they thought I was Emma Peel alias Diana Rigg of The Avengers. Also got compared to Raquel Welch and Julie Christie. Strange coincidence - my ex-husband used to date Diana Rigg's cousin Caroline ............

I was often mistaken for Sandie Shaw when I was younger and, more recently, I have been told I look like Breda Blethin. I'm happy with that.

dh looks like Eddie Jordan although somewhat taller.

I was often mistaken for Mary Hopkin (of 'Those were the days my friend' fame) back in the sixties, although I think that had everything to do with a similar hairdo; I can't sing and couldn't see the resemblance. Then had a phase of being compared to Gill in Crossroads; that was a bit spooky as I didn't watch the programme but turned the TV on one day and actually felt a shock as even I thought it was me!

Now - I'm not sure I know the woman I see in the mirror - she can't be me as she looks far, far too old.

As a girl people often said I looked like Hayley Mills. Boarding a
'plane en route to our honeymoon, I heard the man next to me tell his friend that he was sitting next to Hayley Mills. Don't. Think I look like her now she's much thinner than me. DH is often told that he looks like Ted Danson.

Maggiemaybe Sun 17-Apr-16 17:22:12

Sorry, I can't resist being silly.?

Ann sorry that's comment would have been better in real life the smaller darker one is apparently the image of me hence ' Julie Walter in drag'

wot Sun 17-Apr-16 17:06:19

I look like the back end of a bus or an exploded a_s_hole. My hair looks like an explosion in a mattress factory and my legs are like knotted string.

Ana Sun 17-Apr-16 17:03:46

No, morethan - I meant the other bloke! confused

Luckygirl Sun 17-Apr-16 16:59:09

Everyone used to tell me that I looked like Ali McGraw when I was young (Love Story).

morethan2 Sun 17-Apr-16 16:58:32

Spangles1963 Sun 17-Apr-16 16:58:05

OMG Morethan! He does!

Maggiemaybe Sun 17-Apr-16 16:57:39

My DH was happy enough when he was compared to The Fonz, less so when someone said he looked like Iggy Pop (he doesn't, thank all that's holy!!).

Spangles1963 Sun 17-Apr-16 16:56:14

I was once told by someone about 15 years ago that I looked like Bette Davis. I think he was drunk at the time.

I got excited when my hairdresser kept saying I looked like someone on tv but it turns out to be Anne Robinson. Oh well. .....

K8tie Sun 17-Apr-16 16:49:01

For year now people say I look like Halle Berry . . , even my hairdresser books me in as Halle Berry!!! . . . my response is always . . . she looks like me as I was here first and could be her Mum grin

lizzypopbottle Sun 17-Apr-16 16:48:31

Ana Sun 17-Apr-16 16:47:59

lizzypopbottle Sun 17-Apr-16 16:44:48

I was once told I looked like Angela Pleasence, who is a fine actress but never went in for glamour...
