One of my D in L's friends complimented me on my new hairdo and said it made me look younger ?

I was admiring my 'Bob' when I realised it looked familiar and was the same as some well known personality. I then realised it was just like Grayson Perry ?

I was once told I looked like Judy Dench. She s much older but we do have the same lower face, chin line etc. I took it as a compliment! And the tattoo on her wrist is the motto I use to live by, and I ve said I want it tattooed on my wrist but she beat me to it. Ironical as its " CARPE DIEM! " ( seine the day)

Afterwards.......?
Actually my lovely hairdresser works miracles on my fine White silver hair that I'm growing into a short bob. He's the first one for years who a) listens to what I want and b) doesn't insist on 'thinning the bulk' (it's fine and not at all thick)

PS sorry for high-jacking, I don't apparently resemble anyone of note or notoriety!

I have been told over the course of many years(by young and old) that I look like Rita from Coranation st. Should I feel flattered or what

Thank you Loopy for making me laugh! I had to stop reading the thread about songs that make Gransnetters cry because the stories were making me cry. Then I saw your photo and it made me chuckle - just what I needed grin

loopy you seem to have an attractive dark haired look, but I haven't got my glasses on just yet! grin

Loopylou, I love you ?. I used to be told that I looked like Princess Margaret, in her very young days, ?

Grandmattie! I too was a Francoise Hardy look alike in my teens. Probably also because I was tall and had long blonde hair. Sadly even then I lacked those amazing cheekbones.sad

The way today's going I look like this!
Hairdressing appointment tomorrow morning ?

I apparently look like Denise Welsh, but I don't drink as much as she does

For those old enough if I wear any kind of hat I look like Benny in Crossroads " oh Miss Diane! "

I've been told more than once that I look like Angela Pleasence. She has played some pretty awful looking characters in the course of her career but she doesn't look terrible all the time so I take heart from that ?

I was stopped by a man at Victoria Station in London who said he was from an agency called 'lookers' he told me that I looked like Dr Shipman and would I be interested in going for an audition. I declined his "kind" offer.

As a young nurse I was forever being told by the patients /relatives that I looked and sounded just like Pam Ayers the poet who was very popular at that time .evey day I some one would say do you know who you remind me off Nurse!!!!

When I have my stylish little sunhat on, Benny Hill.

I was once told I looked like Diana Rigg (many years ago). I am not like her now, however. I was also told I looked like Ruby (the scullery girl) from Upstairs, Downstairs. On a bad day I guess?? hmm

Legs55 Sun 16-Oct-16 13:51:59

I used to be compared with the late Anne Kirkbride (Deidre off Coronation Street) mainly because we had same hairstyle & I wore large sun-glasses. Not sure who I look like now - not asking DD as I don't think I'll like the answer hmm

Lupin Sun 16-Oct-16 12:45:04

When I was young I used to be nicknamed Nana Mouskouri when I had the long hair and dark framed big specs. I suspect I now look more like Olive from On the Buses.

grandMattie Sun 16-Oct-16 12:30:12

I used to be told I looked like Francoise Hardy. But suspect only because I'm tall, had long hair and spoke French! A shame...
Now? Goodness knows

ninathenana Sun 16-Oct-16 11:31:29

I aspire to look like Dame Judy. I have the pixie haircut.............
grin

I used to be told that I looked like Olive from 'On the buses'. I grew my hair and got contact lenses pretty quickly.

Blinko Sun 16-Oct-16 10:45:25

An old flame once told me I looked like Jane Fonda....as if! grin

gillyknits Sun 16-Oct-16 10:44:37

Many years ago someone said I looked like Julie Andrews. Shame that I sing like Kermit the frog!

Venus Sun 16-Oct-16 10:41:01

People say that I look like Maureen Lipman. Not sure if that's good, or bad!

HannahLoisLuke Sun 16-Oct-16 10:29:57

Ive been told often over the years that I look and sound like Joanna Lumley. If only!
