Have you ever been mistaken for someone famous?

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

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!

Paul McCartney's sister! Don't even know if he had one, but my looks have a sort of family resemblance to him, and one photo in particular made me look very similar to a young Paul - you know, roundish face, big brown eyes, Beatle cut.... Anyway, Terry used to tell people I was PMs sister and they believed him.

Funnily enough, Mum and her parents, including a mystery biological father, came from Liverpool.............

She of the widows peak hairstyle, she was a fantastic singer though.
Thank you Green, but you are naturally too kind!

Over the years several people passed comment that I looked like Diana Rigg although I couldn't seen the resemblemence.

DH is always getting mistaken for somebody else usually a villian, his most famous case of mistaken identity involved being held by Border Guards on the German/Dutch Border in the 70s apparently because he looked like a member of the Bader Meinhof terrorist gang. It took him several hours to prove he wasn't . Most recently we were in Berwick apon Tweed when a woman rushed up to him and asked him for his autograph as she thought he was a famous Irish fiddle player ??? We all had a good laugh about that as DH hasn't got a musical bone in his body.

In the sixties I was mistaken for the French singer, Mireille Mathieu. I wonder what happened to her?

I remember that film, number! And having met you, I think she'd be very proud to look like you now!

Back around 1954 (ish) my auntie took me to see the film Mandy, starring a little girl called Mandy Miller, and people in the cinema thought that I was her, looking back at photos of myself then, I must say there was a strong resemblance. Wonder what she looks like now? Better than me, probably!

Wonderful glammanana

and LOL glammanana!!!

glamma!

I was once mistaken for Kevin Keegan when I had a curly perm

gracesmum of course we were are!!

Mine was in the very dim mists of time and I wish I had known then that I was reasonably attractive and that size 14 was slim!!!

Brenda Blethin might be nice but glam she isn't!

We must have some jolly glam Gransnetters (or else we are all lying )

In the dim mists of time ...others, including Americans ...seemed to think I resembled Jackie Kennedy! I never understood ...especially as my hair colour was completely different

When I was very young and plump "Elsie Tanner" and Kathy Kirby! Then later it was Rula Lenska, mainly because we both had thick, slightly curly auburn hair, in the same style. Mine is now going white blonde highlights, but funnily, hers is still the same!

Years ago quite a few people commented I reminded them of Wendy Craig in Butterflies.

My sister recently met juragran and told me she could see why she was compared to Julie Christie! Good job I am not the jealous type!
The only person I was ever compared to was Lauren Bacall - didn't see it myself.

Well, where do I begin - Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Sophia Loren, Nora Batty
Nearly seriously, on a weekend in Dublin about 15 years ago Mary MacAleese had election posters up on all the lamp posts and one of the DDs siad she thought they were pictures of me!

Hmm..Pauline Collins and so has my aunt! So must be a likeness somewhere!

And more recently, Sigourney Weaver.

Lyn Redgrave although I could never see the resemblance.

They used to call me Julie in my hey day (for Julie Christie) - and in my early 50s my Italian teacher said I looked like Joan Baez.
That was a long time ago, lol.
