Let’s see: [Kirsten Dunst](http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2006/celebdatabase/kirstendunst/kirsten_dunst1_300_400.jpg) - Used to get her a lot when she was more popular and I had similar hair; I don’t really see it. [Reese Witherspoon](http://content6.flixster.com/rtactor/40/52/40528_pro.jpg) - Ditto, on both counts. [Dave Foley](http://img.youtube.com/vi/3pbKRc-0mSs/0.jpg) - Yes, I’m female, but I’ve been told this more than once, and I admit there’s something similar in the eyes (specifically, the crazed look therein). [Julie Andrews](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9C2cAaYgNmA/TqIZdsRoVUI/AAAAAAAAMWU/eTYeHyChWW4/s1600/SoundOfMusic_116Pyxurz.jpg) - Would that it were so. If I were feeling especially conceited, I could be coaxed to admit that I do see some resemblance. [Sharon Stone](http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/08/cd/e0/08cde0be2e05560df6d6bc11696cbcfc.jpg) - Once, and presumably only because I had short hair. And most recently, my kid pointed to a picture of [Kristen Bell](http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1507606/thumbs/o-KRISTEN-BELL-facebook.jpg) and asked if it was me. Again, I wish! I was flattered until he specified, “She looks like you, but not.” ---

Many years ago I was working at a concert venue. I had never even heard of the band before. It was just another night at work to me. It was a general admission seating event and the crowds were lined up along the huge bank of glass entry doors. As I walked past several people started really banging on the doors. I had no idea why. Then I went backstage and saw [Trey Anastasio](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trey_Anastasio), the lead singer of [Phish](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phish). Really close resemblance at the time. My hair is just a bit darker and less red tinged. He’s a few years older. Many years, and many pounds later I look more like the fat version of Zach Galifianakis. ---

When I was 12, I was told I looked like Jodie Foster (I assume, when she was twelve, ie in ‘Taxi Driver’). Not sure how I feel about that… As an adult, Chloe Sevigny (meh) and the Girl with the Pearl Earring (the painting, not the ScarJo version). My fiance is a good likeness for Emile Hirsch. I was distracted in the Hunger Games movie because I also thought that Liam Hemsworth would be a great Celebdoppelgänger for him (that is, who I would cast for a Hollywoodized biopic of him). ---

When I was back in India last year for a month a crapload of people came up to me and told me I look like “Vyjanthimala but dark.” ---

Not often, since I don’t really look like anyone, but depending on make-up and hair, I have been told I resemble [Sonya Blade in Mortal Kombat](http://cinema.theiapolis.com/movie-0T30/mortal-kombat/gallery/bridgette-wilson-as-sonya-blade-in-mortal-1088171.html) and [Sienna Guillory from The a Time Machine](http://www.imdb.com/media/rm625580800/nm0347149?ref_=nmmi_mi_all_evt_33) I don’t think I look like either. ---

I had a friend who said I reminded him of Jack Nicholson. But maybe behavior more than looks. ---

Maybe, but within 10 seconds of you posting that every guy on the Board was wishing that you were twisting his ear and asking, “Are You _Psycho_? Do you Not have a _Soul_?” Kudos to you, M’am. To look that great… it must be nice 24-7. Someday, if we are lucky, maybe you would write about what its like walking on that side of the street.
