I don't even look like myself any more, let alone anyone else! ?

I was always told I looked like Wendy Craig, now I’m told I look like my dad!

It was Princess Margaret in my teens, getting to be the image of my mum now though.

Ok, this is the one that made me want to cut my throat.
It was said to me by a young lady with downs syndrome, who had a real talent for being able to look at someone and immediately find a similarity to a celeb...
Shirley out of eastenders. sad
Mind you, she told another lady that she looked like Jimmie Kranky, and another she was like Susan Boyle.

My mother always said I looked like Jean Simmons. In my teens and twenties I was often likened to Nana Mouskouri.

Hang on kitty, I've got a couple of good ones before that.
Pink, when I had short blonde hair (the man who said it was drunk) and Goldie Hawn (infatuated and very plain boyfriend said that)

Pity help anyone who looks like me.

In the 80s, a very drunk man ran out of a phone box and threw himself on his knees saying "lady Diana!" to me.
Meryl Streep, Kath out eastenders and Bonnie Tyler are others I've been told I look like.
I'm building up to the really bad one..

My mother used to say I looked like Princess Anne, but not in a good way smile. She has a similar nose to the ones in my family.

When I was a whole lot younger I was told more than once that I was cilla’s double, or she was mine! If only I could sing....

I was told that I looked like Sandie Shaw, I was even asked for my autograph. I was really chuffed back then but, from what I've heard about her lately, I wouldn't want to be thought like her now.

Lately people have likened me to Brenda Blethin - which is ok!

I have had a variety of famous people comparisons. One absolutely appalling one, which I can't bear to think about, let alone share. blush

According to a few people, I looked like Susan Sarandon, but that was until about five years ago. She still has no wrinkles or saggy bits, I've only got wrinkles and saggy bits plus greying hair. Need I say more.

Have you ever been told that you look like anyone famous?
Would you care to share who it is, or was?
