I’d love to have looked like Joan Collins in her younger days. Although at nearly 90
she still looks fantastic!

Francoise Hardy.

I'm with you on Francoise Hardy. I had quite a crush on her when I was young. Also, a young Marianne Faithful. She was so gorgeous.

Helena Bonham Carter if anyone. I’d love to have the confidence to go as whacky as she is. I feel whacky in my head but …..I’d probably just look like some crazy old bag woman

Keeley Hawes. I love her! Though the other day, my son paid me a rare compliment that I look lovely, so I'll take that. ☺️

Emmy Lou Harris, she is looking fabulous with grey hair. When I eventually let the grey in, she will be my role model!

Apparently, I already do look like the actress Angela Pleasence, Donald Pleasence's daughter. Since most of her well known roles were in horror films, perhaps I wouldn't have chosen to look like her!

These days, in the main, I am happy to be me, but slimmer and with good teeth.

Halle Berry with her pixie haircut, but in the 80s I would really of loved to look like Helena Christensen.

Scones, I love that Dr Seuss quote! Thank you!

Boyzone Sun 17-Oct-21 12:40:43

Jennifer Lopez please

Elizabeth Taylor.

We shared a birthday when she was alive, but that's where the similarity ends.

I am delighted to say (I think) I look like Judy Dench...and am quite happy with that even though I am a decade or so younger! In my young day someone said I looked like Samantha Eggar... (happy with that!) and in my middle years was delighted when someone said I looked like Blondie/Debbie Harry. Sadly I can provide no photographic or other evidence of an of these claims...

I agree with * Zoejory* - Zendaya is exquisite.

Secondwind Sun 17-Oct-21 13:00:55

Ooops - forgot to press bold!

Kate Bush back in the day, so beautiful.

avitorl Sun 17-Oct-21 13:36:09

Sean Connery ,so I would have a wonderful surprise every time I look in a mirror!

sharon103 Sun 17-Oct-21 13:51:12

I'd have loved to looked like Debbie Harry. At 86 she's still attractive.

sharon103 Sun 17-Oct-21 13:52:48

Sorry Debbie, you're 76 .

Felicity Kendal or Helen Mirren would be nice.

Felicity Kendal or Helen Mirren would be nice.

Felicity Kendal looks very fake now, though,

Christine Lagarde. She always looks so stylish, which I'm not.

She is a much admired woman in our house!
I would love to look like her, but I’m more of a Tracey Ullman or so I’m told.

Lemontart Sun 17-Oct-21 14:27:28

Nicole Kidman, I think she is beautiful.

AuntieEleanorsCat Sun 17-Oct-21 14:34:14

Francois Hardy… still very beautiful. As is Ali MacGraw.

Imagine going through life looking like that!

Naninka Sun 17-Oct-21 14:40:12

I've been compared to: Gillian Anderson (when my hair was copper), Jill Halfpenny (when my hair was dark) and, more recently, a fat Katy Perry. Oh... and always Charlotte Church... over and over.

As far as I can see, none of these women look anything alike!! Weird!

Kate Bush back in the day, so beautiful.

My husband's fave, as was!!

LuckyFour Sun 17-Oct-21 14:42:31

I don't want to look like anyone else (although I wish I was taller), but I just hope to keep my mind/brain working well.
