When my hair was long and permed; Kate Winslet in Titanic. As a child; Annie. Little red haired kid with a bad perm and freckles? Oh yes. My mother even made me an Annie dress. And I had the locket. In english and french… ---

I have no pictures of myself online (keep thinking about it, though) but I’ve been told repeatedly and do believe that I look a **lot** like musician [Me’shell Ndege’ocelo](http://www.freemyheart.com/gallery/210.html). Except I’ve got hair. ---

I get Alanis Morrissette all the time. To the point where tourists visiting Toronto will approach me to doublecheck. In truth, I’ve some _some_ photographs in which we do bear a starting resemblance (even my mom says so). So I’m guessing that if you spot me at the right angle, it’s a mistake easily made. I’m also told I look like Jamie Gertz, a.k.a. “that chick from the Lost Boys movie” – again, my mom agrees with this one. My SO has been told ad nauseum that she looks like Ally Sheedy. ---

This is kind of weird, but… When I lived in London, I was walking out of the main Dunhill store and I ran into Roger Ebert (he was writing a book on ‘great London walks’ or something like that). We both stopped and looked at each other and I said something like “I’m a big fan” and he laughed and said something like “If you hadn’t spoken, I would have thought you were Alan Bates!” So, if I looked like Alan Bates to Roger Ebert circa 1986, I guess I would have to say that - at one time, anyway, I resembled Alan Bates (who really isn’t too famous in the U.S., I guess). -bbb- ---

Yep. Gillian Anderson. Constantly. Especially when I wear a suit. More especially in bars where I’ve been “Scully’d” from across the bar. I was once offered 50 bucks to attend a sci-fi convention in Chicago to walk around and hand out flyers (no, thanks). Then I happened to be in Holland when the movie came out and people would think I was her…got my picture snapped a few times over the years as well. My husband (he’s smart) tells me I could pass for her younger, hotter sister. ---

I’d say you resemble both Sissy Spacek (back when she did “Badlands” with Martin Sheen), and her daughter, actress Schuyler Fisk (who co-starred with Jack Black and Colin Hanks in "Orange County). ---

Yep, Barbra Striesand. I’ve even had construction workers yell “Hey Barbra!” at me. It’s kinda disconcerting - my Mom’s name was Barbara! I don’t get it so much anymore, though. I’m also a dead ringer for the TV critic in the local paper. ---

As a teen i looked like Ralph Macchio, which by the way did nothing in the getting-chicks department. Now, I have no idea. People say I remind them of Michael Madsen, Mr Blonde from Reservoir Dogs. But that’s probably because I’m psycho. Check my www link for a pic of me. Tell me I’m beautiful. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-look-like-any-celebrities/157302.md?page=6)
