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)

I was likened to Jane Asher in my youth! Managed to keep red hair but nothing else sad

No lookalikes but think I am being stalked by Corrie stars. Gail has got my ironing board cover, Fizz my coffee mugs and the blackmailing one (can't remember her name) wears my scarf.

harrysgran I said to the wife of a colleague of DH years ago that she looked just like Nerys Hughes - she said 'Actually, she's my cousin'!

Someone called Charlie who does gardening, Meryl Streep and "that lady off the telly'' - no idea about that one.

Diana Rigg - from the early days of The Avengers to the present day. She was from Yorkshire too:-)

I'm another one that looked like Mary Hopkin when young. Much more recently I was told I looked like Penelope Keith. Still trying to get over that one!

When my husband was young he was the spitting image of the French film star Alain Delon. Now he's approaching 70 he is still gorgeous!

My OH is compared to Patrick Stewart so many times I'm thinking of signing him up to a doubles agency. Once when admitted to A & E with stomach pains the examining doctor stopped mid probe and said "hope you don't mind me saying but has anyone ever said you look like Patrick Stewart? "! X

My DH is a ringer for Captain Birdseye

In my teens and twenties I was told I looked like a young Betty Davis and later a friend said I looked like Dianne from Crossroads!!

I was told I looked like Pauline Collings. Maybe I did years ago. I think the resemblance has gone now.

No, but DH has been told he resembles Steve Ovett ( Seb Coe's rival in the 80s) and the old sea dog on Players Cigarettes from years gone by.

I don't look like any celebrity. I look like me, I am unique. Although, I have a lookalike in Glasgow. My DD was on a bus with my DGC when my GS2 spotted a lady sitting with her shopping. He got all excited saying, "look it's Granny". It took DD a little while to persuade him that it wasn't me. The lady on the bus was quite amused.

My husband definitely looked like John Thaw not so long ago, but lost a little more hair than JT, who unfortunately is no longer with us. Hubby also loved "Morse" it was a joke between us when it was on, I would say to him "watching yourself again"

My DBIL looks like Ken Barlow in Corrie. Oddly enough, he works as an extra on Emmerdale grin

I look like a mixture of 60%Jimmy Krankie and 40% Dawn French.

It's a sort of Tin Tin's granny look.

I used to be told I looked like Bette Davis , I probably do now that she's been dead for years

Ha ha ha! Pocket. Did you see that film "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane" she was in. Joane Crawford was lovely though.

Cagsy Mon 18-Apr-16 18:40:46

Don't think I look like anyone but all those years ago at school I was nicknamed Ringo Streisand!

wot Mon 18-Apr-16 19:24:34

Casey, were they hinting that you had a large hooter!!??

harrigran Mon 18-Apr-16 19:28:04

In the 60s and 70s my BIL was the spitting image of David Essex, must say David has aged a lot better than BIL grin

grannyinmypocket Mon 18-Apr-16 20:59:14

Yes wot, I did see Whatever Happened To Baby Jane, it was a great film, with 2 great actresses

My daughter says I look like Kathy Burke. I wish I had her talent! grin
