Look Alikes?

It seems people are always telling me I look like someone they know. I hear "Are you So-and-So's sister?" or "you look just like a girl I grew up with." If they aren't telling me I look like someone they know, people are telling me I look like someone famous. I have been baffled by some of the celebrities I supposedly resemble!

First, there is the most popluar remark I have heard since The Wonder Years aired on TV back in junior high - "You look like Winnie Cooper!" Believe it or not, countless people have told me this. It's ridiculous! I look NOTHING like this: I STILL hear this comment to this day! What the heck? Winnie Cooper is beautiful, so it's a total compliment but.... ???



When I was a recruiter for a college before I had my daughter, I was traveling one week around Kansas City and three different students at three different events told me in a two-day time span that I looked like "the chick from The Craft": This is Robin Tunney. She was also in the TV series, Prison Break. More people after that told me I looked like her, but again I must say, huh? Seriously? She's cute and all but... don't see this either.



Then there is the ultimate form of flattery. It's when people tell you that you look like Elizabeth Hurley. Yeah! I wish! Well, thanks a million people for the HUGE compliment, but again... Seriously??



And recently, I was told that I look like this chick: This is Sprague Grayden. She plays Olivia in this season of 24. Out of everyone I have been told I look like, I think I bear the most resemblance to this actress.


The worst is when you are told you look like someone you DO NOT WANT TO LOOK LIKE. I have been told I look like Cathy Bates. Hmm... Thanks! Anyway, it's all pretty amusing to me.

I also love finding celebrity look alikes for my friends and family. Here are a few...
