I used to hear that I looked like one of the Baldwin brothers fairly often. Treat Williams too. ---

When I was in college I bore a rather frightening resemblance to the Russian composer [Alexander Borodin](http://www.cf.ac.uk/music/images/borodin.jpg). Or at least to that one picture of him. Rather an odd coincidence, since he had already been my favorite composer long before anyone ever pointed out the resemblance. ---

I was once watching a movie with my sister, starring Helena Bonham Carter. My sister said, “You know, Helena Bonham Carter’s got a really tiny head. It’s kinda freakish.” About ten seconds later, she said, “You look kinda like her, Sarah.” For the record, I look nothing like her. AT ALL. In a slightly related vein, I discovered I have the same name as Andrew Lloyd Webber’s first wife. ---

Danny White: [http://www.dannywhite.com/](http://www.dannywhite.com/) Got more grey hair than him, but maybe he’s "Just for Men"ning it. ---

I’ve been told on various occasions of my resemblance to Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins (only not bald), the Little Prince, and Johnny Depp as Edward Scissorhands (I don’t really resemble the regular Johnny Depp at all). ---

By the way, Jennyrosity, I like your Izzard sig. Years ago, I sat down with some mates and we worked out which animals made ALL the spreads. I can’t remember them all, but I can tell you that chinchillas make marshmallow fluff, and dragonflies make tartare sauce. Centipedes make crunchy peanut butter, and millipedes make smooth peanut butter. Ladybirds make piccalilli, I think. ---

For some God awful reason people tell me I look like Chaka Kahn all the time. only when I wear my hair down. I wear it up alot more often now! Of course its only older people, well 0lder than me anyway, as people my age have no clue who she is.

He’s not famous, but I look just like “this guy I went to high school with”. I get that all the time. Also, each for short periods of time: Brendan Fraser baseball pitcher Orel Hershiser Hugh Grant – when 4 Weddings and a Funeral was popular ---

I’ve been told that I look like Rebecca DeMornay. I know I’m butchering the spelling of her name - sorry. And also Idgie on “Fried Green Tomatoes” but just that character not the actress in any other role. I can’t complain, I like 'em both but I have been compared to Medusa when it’s early morning. I think that extends to attitude as well as looks though. ---

Imagine Andre Agassi with short spikey hair and a darker skin tone and you’ve pretty much got me. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-look-like-anyone-famous/226151.md?page=2)
