Been told ever since Northern Exposure came out that I look like Janine Turner. In fact, on more than one occasion I had my ID carefully scrutinized – guess they thought I was trying to go incognito or something. ---

Some times I’m told James LeGros. Some times Tim Robbins. I think I look a little like the younger, thinner Ozzy Osbourne. (Sharon are you listening? I’ve got classical acting training and I’m working on the Birmingham accent for that Ozzy biopic). 😃 ---

Actually, I look like **Why A Duck** , but I guess I’ll have to wait until he becomes a celebrity for it to do me any good. Yeah. A celebrity engineer. Woo hoo. Although, when I was in college, I appeared in the chorus of Aaron Copland’s opera _The Tender Land_. It’s set in the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, and I played one of the dirt-poor dirt farmers. I slicked back my hair, in the style of the day, and I also sported a mustache at the time. I was told that, from the audience, I resembled Clark Gable. ---

So I get a phone call last night from one of my good friends. She and her husband were watching “Portrait of a Lady”. Her husband nagged her to call me because he said I’m the spitting image of Nicole in that film. My husband just laughed. ---

I always get “You look just like that guy from ER!” To which I respond, “What, the fat guy?” 😃 Finally figured out that they meant Noah Wyle. Haven’t tried writing a prescription yet… ---

When I was 17, I had the Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice hairdo, was pale and gothy and dressed all in black. When I was moving into my college dorm, I was called “that Winona girl.” That was a long time ago. I was a mere waif then. Then, several years later, I had a friend who insisted I looked like a short [Jami Gertz](http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/PersonDetail/personid-10102). I can sorta see it, but my nose is different. ---

When I was _much_ younger (like thirty years ago), I was told I looked like [Ursula Andress](http://www.jamesbondmm.co.uk/women/honeyryder006.html). Not that I look like that anymore, I’m afraid. Oh well. Neither does Ursula. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ethilrist \* > \*\*I don’t know if anybody’s told her this, but I think one of our MinnDopers, **Osbie,** looks like a cross between Keri Russell and Nicole Kidman. Only shorter. \*\* Why thanks, **Ethilrist**! Golly! I _have_ gotten the Keri Russell thing before (because of my hair) but the Nicole Kidman thing is new. In the past, I’ve been compared to Jodie Foster (we have the same nose), and Amy Grant. The Weinermobile driver said I reminded him of Heather Graham, but I think he just said that to get me to buy his company’s products. _Pads off to the kitchen to fix a hot dog_ ---

When I dyed my short hair red in highschool I used to get Molly Ringwald. Then when I went back to my natural color I got Alissa Milano. Someone recently said Isabelle Adjani, but I’m not really sure what she looks like! I also used to get Isabella Rosalinni - but I think that’s because of the dark hair/ pale skin thing. ---

Cary Elwes. The rub is, not only do I look like an, at best, second-rate celeb; but I don’t look like him when he was hot (Princess Bride, e.g.) but rather more recently when he’s a bit tubbier and getting wrinkly (uprising, e.g.) ---

My idiot coworker has to collar every new person in the office and ask them if I don’t look like Cathy of the comics. Of course she has the most generic face of all cartoons, so some will see it, but fortunately most say they don’t. Wish I knew how to stop her from doing that.
