Someone once said I looked like Princess Diana, and said it like duh, I must get that all the time. But that’s the only time I’ve gotten it, and I don’t look like her at all, so that was weird. A couple people said Mira Sorvino and a couple people said Tina Fey. I think that’s it. Actually, a pizza deliveryman said…that person Tom Cruise was/is married to? Kate something? But my sister said that doesn’t count because people say every skinny dark-haired young woman looks like her (I was skinny at the time ☹ ). ---

Brian Dennehy, apparently. Heard it from more than one person. ---

I’ve been told John Cusack, Sean Penn and Alan Rickman (especially when my hair is longer) on several occasions. Which I guess makes sense as we all have dark hair, are sort of medium build, medium tall-ish, sort of everyman-ish looking and constantly make glib comments. ---

Best: [Wayne Newton](http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1853790208/nm0628611) Worst: [Mall Cop](http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/95/Paul_blart_mall_cop_film.jpg/220px-Paul_blart_mall_cop_film.jpg&imgrefurl=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Blart:_Mall_Cop&h=260&w=176&sz=1&tbnid=j6BHNAnxp89nqM:&tbnh=186&tbnw=125&zoom=1&usg=__Dm_m5od3KLzjYoqwOQ621tZvfHM=&docid=-H2PHqamStGaFM&itg=1&sa=X&ei=IA_4Uf--KZLI4AOG_4HwAg&ved=0CKIBEPwdMAo) Luckily I lean more towards Wayne Newton if I keep my weight down and don’t grow that mustache again. ---

It depends on the age of the person. Older people tell me I look like a young Lauren Bacall. People my age and younger tell me Michelle Pfeiffer. 🆒 ---

I’ve been told Fran Drescher. Eek! On the other hand, I do look a LOT like Martha Plimpton, especially when she and I were both younger. I didn’t actually see _The Goonies_ until a few years ago and it really kind of freaked me out, because she and I also have very similar body language and it was like watching a younger me. ---

In college, around 2000, someone said I looked like [Jennifer Connelly](https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRzMgm38zQYfw-uGazwDloAJmCFZoz9Hdl_YAUcbqyWL488M1AR) Then just a few years ago, someone told me that I looked like [Alison Brie](https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQKCUQWLgXHgZZaro7PUCVtc6dUAf2t3ZktrBQ82tymhmPjwpd3Eg). Wow, I wish I really did! I can maybe kinda sorta see what he meant in that I have shoulder length brown hair (which was darker at the time) and big eyes. That’s about it - and absolutely no resemblance below the neck, sadly. To this day, my dad’s friends still tease him about the fact that in the early 80s, some drunk woman in a bar told him he looked like Alan Alda. She must have been _really_ drunk. ---

When I was younger, Sondra Locke (which I don’t get at all) and Jaclyn Smith (we had the same hair at the time, so I can see that one). More recently, Debra Messing (from _Will & Grace_) and Sarah Clarke (from _24_). ---

I look just like that black actor who wears glasses. No need to be more specific, apparently I look like all of them. 🙂 I sound like James Earl Jones (tone) or Morgan Freeman (accent). So picture Darth Vader saying “Luke, I’m trying to drive you to the store!” ---

The one I used to get when I was younger was Audrey Hepburn. But I’ve aged and she’s been dead a long time now.
