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

I'd quite like to look like my 35 - 40 year old self. But, as that can't happen, I'll take on Debbie Harry's looks and talent, she really was the full package.

Katharine Hepburn

Anybody with a more petite nose than mine and lovely thick hair. If the had a flat stomach too, that would be the icing on the cake!

When I was growing up I wanted to be like Liz Taylor

Sophia Loren (I can dream ?…..)

Twiggy. She's a few years older than me but has aged well. If she's had any work done it's very subtle.

As a teenager Jean Shrimpton as I grew older Catherine Deneuve. Still dreaming hmm

Grace Kelly when she was about thirty five - she seemed to be at the peak of her beauty around that time.
However, I have often thought that if you are a great beauty, how hard it must be to see it all descending slowly, gravity ruining the goddess face. 'Quite happy to be ordinary me - although I was often told I looked like Mary Hopkin.

Shania Twain. My husband wishes I looked like Olivia Newton John -in his dreams!???

TillyTrotter Sun 17-Oct-21 17:35:21

And does your husband look like John Travolta Supergran
?

I dislike most famous people, and have NO wish to resemble any of them. They are all a bunch of overpaid egomaniacs

FannyCornforth Sun 17-Oct-21 17:56:46

songstress which of those egomaniacs resembles you?

melp1 Sun 17-Oct-21 17:59:53

Bridgette Bardot in her younger years

Ellie Anne Sun 17-Oct-21 18:24:45

I think I’m ugly so any change would be good.
Natasha from the antique programmes is lovely. Used to think Ann diamond was very attracts.

Supergranuation Sun 17-Oct-21 18:30:41

No luckily TillyTrotter! I prefer Aidan Turner but he doesn't look like him either unfortunately! ?

Rowantree Sun 17-Oct-21 18:53:47

Mary Beard.

TillyTrotter Sun 17-Oct-21 19:03:12

Bad luck Supergran ?
My other half looks more than a little like Steve Martin.

Happysexagenarian Sun 17-Oct-21 21:11:07

I've never really wanted to look like anyone except myself. But if I had to choose it would be Doris Day or Audrey Hepburn, both very naturally beautiful women.

Joan Collins might look brilliant at nearly 90, but that's all down to her plastic surgeons!
I just love to see celebrities who have, or seem to have, aged as they should have....just like the rest of us!

Ellie Anne,
Most of us would consider ourselves less attractive than others.
But some people obviously find us attractive, so I can guarantee you are not ugly in other people's eyes!
I always hated my looks until one day I looked in the mirror, decided I'm no oil painting or watercolour, but I could be a lot worse and just started accepting myself!!

When I was in school I had a friend who was truly stunningly gorgeous. She always had a lot of attention from everyone; boys, girls, adults. I never wished for that kind of attention. I’d rather sit unnoticed and unbothered than to have everyone watching me!

Susiewakie Mon 18-Oct-21 09:22:37

My hubby ( when younger and skinnier ) was always told he looked like Tim Henmanand when I was younger people said I looked like Susan George but I didn't know who she was then lol

glammanana Mon 18-Oct-21 12:00:02

I have been told I resemble Joanna Lumley can you just imagine her with a Liverpudlian accent I think not,the nearest I think I have got to resembling her is the hair
