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)

What'd you think

People used to say I looked like Julie Walters. That was before I got fat and she went grey.I'm grey but colour it. Im not sure if that's a compliment or not. Lots of my younger sons friends say he looks like a taller blonder prince Harry. He's not to pleased. I'd upload a picture but it's too technical for me.

When I was a teenager with puppy fat, it was Pat Phoenix! When I was older and slimmer, it was Rula Lenska. Now, I'm invisible.

A few weeks ago, on a Bridge weekend a lady said to me 'have you ever been told you look like Leslie Garrett(opera singer) and I said 'no' your the first and she said 'you must have been' no never, but it did answer the question when I am out and about I sometimes get a smile as though the person knows me. When I was younger it has gone from Chris Evert(tennis player) Vince Hill!! yep and Princess Diana. I put it down to a 'common face' hehe

My ds (although younger) is the image of the new Manager for Liverpool Football Club, Jurgen Klopp.
My dh looks like Richard Dreyfuss actor.
I'm a one of/off smile

My parents used to say that I looked like Princess Anne. I have the nose, but fortunately not the hair!

Icyalittle Sun 17-Apr-16 15:14:35

I am apparently another one who looks like Helen Mirren. So many random people tell me so. I would be thrilled if I believed it to be true.

DS2 ,who is autistic, insists one of my neighbours looks like Mrs Goggins. I'm dreading the day that she sees an episode of Postman Pat!!

It would be great to see some photos of you all so we can see how accurate (or not) the looky-likes are!

When I used to keep my hair off my face with a hairband I got told I looked like Lauren Bacall. I've also been likened to Charlotte Rampling and, back when I wore dark framed glasses, Nana Mouskouri

My dear hubby has a slight resemblance to John Thaw, I look a bit like Valerie Singleton, but friends tell us we are like Donald and Jaqueline, (from Benidorm) especially if he puts a straw hat on , ha ha !

Back in the sixties I had long black hair and wore black rimmed specs and was always called Nana after Nana Mouskiri, the greek pop singer. Not sure if it was a compliment or not.

KatyK Sun 17-Apr-16 14:36:30

When I first met my DH, he was always being told he looked like Vince Hill - remember him?

Blinko! That's so funny!?

grandmac Sun 17-Apr-16 14:29:42

Maggiemaybe grin I know what that feels like! All my children are exceptionally handsome/pretty (not me boasting, just fact). My husband was from the middle east so I believe it comes from his side. When I am out with any of them and introduced as their mother I can see quick surprised looks between our faces. Even my lovely DiL sometimes preens herself when told how good looking her husband is, until I remind her "I made him" wink

Blinko Sun 17-Apr-16 14:26:03

A friend's OH recently told her she looked like 'that Greek singer' in her new specs. She was quite put out that he thought she resembled Demis Roussos grin

harrysgran Sun 17-Apr-16 14:19:12

I'm often told I look like Sarah Milligan which I don't mind too much as she's about twenty years younger than me in my younger days I was likened to Nerys Hughes (Sandra) from the Liver birds .

BBbevan Sun 17-Apr-16 14:18:53

When I was at art school ----Nana Mouskouri

I look like cher in a fairground mirror!? pre plastic surgery. It's the big nose that does it.

Jane10 Sun 17-Apr-16 14:14:10

I actually am the spitting image of Kate Moss grin

annifrance Sun 17-Apr-16 14:13:30

Many years ago my passport photo looked like Anna Massey.

wot Sun 17-Apr-16 14:12:24

And (never start a sentence with "and", I know!) My dad looked like Montgomery Cliffte have you noticed that good looking parents often have plain children?

oznan Sun 17-Apr-16 14:10:26

When I was younger,I was always being told,even by complete strangers,that I looked like Barbra Streisand.(Yes,she spells her name like that!).I hated it.
Also been told I look like Gaynor Faye-this was at the time she was "Judy Mallett" in Corrie.
Now I am old I never get compared to anyone,so,at long last,I must look like me!
