I’ve gotten comments about looking like Harry Anderson, the guy who played the judge on the TV show NIGHT COURT. Also Phil Lesh, the bassist for the Grateful Dead, only I’ve got a little less nose and more chin. Didn’t we just do this thread a couple weeks ago? Lot of, uh, familiar faces here. * * * Uke ---

High School - Friend told me I looked like Scott Valentine (“My Demon Lover”) 18 y.o. delivering pizzas - Girls I delivered to said Tom Cruise ~20 y.o. - Girl at Arby’s counter said Richard Marx I don’t think I really look like anyone. I looked through the TM Homepage regs’ pictures and didn’t do too well coming up with celebrity resemblances. **Curious George** reminds me of the “inconceiveable” guy from “The Princess Bride” (don’t recall his name). **Chef Troy** reminds me of Paul Prudhome (sp?) :). I can see a resemblance between **Drain Bead** and Uma Thurman. **Diane** , I think a lot women with long, blond hair probably look like Courtney Love when their hair is messy and they need sleep, although I imagine that you _still_ would be a lot more attractive than she is. ---

One more thing, **CKDextHavn** reminds me of _someone_ who was pretty famous, but I don’t recall exactly _who_. 🙂 ---

When I was in high school, I was told that I looked like Brooke Shields (this was during her “Nothing comes between me & my Calvins” phase). Yuck! :o It’s getting worse, though. A few months ago, someone informed me that I look like Monica Lewinsky. DOUBLE YUCK!!! :o :o I never saw the resemblance in either case. FTR, I have it on good authority (I asked my husband) that I do NOT look like “that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.” * * * The Cat In The Hat ---

## When I was younger and thinner people told me I looked like Robin Williams. Now that I’m older and, ahem, thicker people tell me I look like Drew Carey. I think there’s only a slight physical resemblance in any case (and can both be true?) and it has more to do with my sarcastic public persona which defends me from the world. “If you had manifested _fatigue_ upon noticing that you had been an ass, that would have been logical, that would have been rational; whereas it seems to me that to manifest _surprise_ was to be again an ass.” Mark Twain _Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc_ ---

Never been compared to a celebrity, but people always think I look familiar. Frequently people say I look like their uncles. Weird. ---
