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

Juliette Binoche has a lovely face, full of character. I wouldn't mind looking like Carole the weather lady, natural, kind and a lovely smile.

I can still remember Chrissie Shrimpton being on Juke Box Jury. I think they played Get Offa My Cloud and she said ‘I hope they don’t mean me’. I’ve absolutely no idea why that stuck in my mind when very few other things from that time did.

When I was in my teens I was told I looked like Chrissie Shrimpton. So I suppose I’d like to look like me in my teens ?

I wanted to look like Jean Shrimpton when I was young. Now I’m old I’d love to look like Joanna Lumley.

A young Kate Bush.
I get told I resemble Jane MacDonald, don’t mind as she’s years younger! (Would prefer Sophia Loren, but there you go..) Also Ingrid Bergman, Vivien Leigh and some French actresses like Juliette Binoche.
Sophia Loren has often said our beauty comes from within. Er no Soph, not in your case…

I've ever wanted to be like a particular person. Just would love to be naturally slimmish, and have confidence.

When I was very young, primary school age, I wanted to look like one of The Ronettes, the singer, it was the behive and eyeliner, Amy Winehouse obviously felt the same.

Later on in teen years, after studying Romeo and Juliet our class was taken to see the film that came out around that time, after that really wanted to look like Olivia Hussey, just loved her hair and skin.... not a spot in sight!

Then all those Swinging Sixties girls, Julie Christie, Pattie Boyd, but I wasn't a blonde and came to terms that I never would be.

I think these days, I'm not too hung up about looking like anyone in particular, but would love to be flat chested, yes really,!!!!I liked having them once, now I want them disappear, because they spoil the line of clothes imo!

I'd be perfectly happy to look like me but 40 years ago!

I would like to look like Natalie Wood in West Side Story. I have the dark brown eyes but that's all hmm

Natalie Wood is my choice too ( I haven’t even got the brown eyes) ?

I'd like to look like someone with small boobs. So much easier to buy clothes.

Fanny grin I suppose Paul McCartney was quite 'pretty' in his day. This was said to me when I had my dark hair and Mary Quant (sort of) hairdo. When I lightened my hair, I was always being told I looked like Miss Diane from Crossroads.

In the 60s I looked very like Cathy McGowan. Being partly Irish the sort of look I always wanted is personified by the lovely Aisling Bea. To look so lovely and be so funny!

Mr R is always being told that he looks like the racing driver Damien Hill.
But we can't see it! grin

Blossoming

I look like my mother and don’t want to look like anybody else.

If I have to choose I’ll go with Audrey Hepburn.

I used to think I looked like my mother too Blossoming. When I got a bit older I started looking like my Dad. This week I looked down at my hands and they reminded me of my grandfather's!! It's nice to feel that connection but crikey I'm not sure I want old man's hands.

I still look like my mother, and it isn’t just me that thinks so smile

LadyGracie Fri 15-Oct-21 14:08:05

I’ve always been told I look like Wendy Craig.

Jaxjacky Fri 15-Oct-21 13:35:19

I was told years ago I had cheek bones like Raquel Welch….it was a very, very long time ago!

fiorentina51 Fri 15-Oct-21 13:16:23

Apparently, I already look like somebody famous, Julie Walters...or so I've been told, many times, by complete strangers. ?
