In my youth I was often likened to Sarah Ferguson, but with dark brown hair. I also had/have some of her personality traits - the good ones I'm sure. . When I look in the mirror I believe I can see the resemblance.
When I was young I was told I looked like Princess Alexandra, when in fact I was trying my hardest to look like Cathy McGowan. I didn't know whether to be flattered on not as she's much taller than me but older too!
As a young child, I very rarely met my grandmother on my mum's side. I was taken to see her at Christmas 1962 - aged 11 - and her opening comment was "You look just like Libby Morris!"
Don't get me wrong, Libby Morris was a VERY talented and extremely funny woman - but, as an 11 year old, you DO NOT need to be told that you look like her .
For those who don't remember her - this is Libby Morris
When I was young I was mistaken for Lucy Skeeping from Play School. I used to be constantly asked for my autograph, especially by children. Parents used to get cross with me when I said I wasn't her and I'm sure I must have got her a bad name ?. I showed my niece recently a photo of her in a group of Playschool presenters and she was convinced it was me and thought I had doctored the photo and put myself in.
I went in to a rather grand London Chinese restaurant once, many years ago, and there was such a flurry of waiter activity that I asked my partner what was going on. Apparently all the staff were in a flutter because they thought I was Wendy Craig!
I’ve been told several times by complete strangers I look like Bonnie Langford! In the past I’ve been told I look like Kate Bush and Mary Steenbergen, she’s married to Ted Danson.
Fevertree Me too , no disrespect to mother, but when I had the funds I invested in cosmetic surgery which boosted my morale and gave me confidence where both business and social life were concerned. Never regretted it.
In my teens and twenties several people said I looked like Princess Margaret. Two or three have said I'm like Wendy Craig, not so much in looks but in mannerisms.
My lovely SIL says I look like Wendolene from A Close Shave (Wallace & Gromit)! When I was younger I was told I looked like Maria Schneider From Last Tango in Paris, which was nice as she was very pretty.
I have been told I look like Alison Steadman, and also Fern Britton. I can’t see it at all. They both have lovely cheekbones - I don’t! Both are slimmer than me too!
When I was younger I was likened to Felicity Kendal when the Good Life was on TV. In recent years someone said I looked like my mam which is a privilege as she looked gorgeous until dementia set in when she was 90 years old. She had beautiful skin and her hair was platinum blonde. In her youth she could have been another Marilyn Monroe as she was gorgeous. I have a photo by my computer of her when she was aged 62 years and she looked lovely then.
