Okay, probably been done before, but old dopers can ignore it if they want to. Two part question: What celebrity of you own sex would you most like to look like, and why? Also, what celebrity of the opposite sex would you most like to look like and why? Same sex - Maureen O’Hara in her prime. Not only was she drop-dead gorgeous, she had that “if you piss me off I will kick the living shit out of you” look to her that made people take her seriously. Opposite sex - Rupert Everett. Those smouldering eyes, those striking angular features. You could attract anyone of any sex looking like that. Especially the way he looked in “An Ideal Husband” ---

hmmmm. I’ve wondered about this a few times. Well… Female: I think I’d like to look like Rita Hayworth–she really was a looker. Male: Harrison Ford. Very rugged and manly looking–and I think he’s aged rather well. ---

Same sex : Clint Eastwood. I don’t care if most chicks think he is ugly as sin, he just has a face that says sarcastic badass. Oppsite sex: Linda Fiorentino, might as well be good looking, plus she can look stupid, smart, pissed off or naive, hot or ugly. And versatility would be great. ---

Same sex: Harrison Ford would do, but could I please have Sean Connery’s voice as well ? Opposite sex: Sorry, but I don’t know how to answer that. Thinking of having an attractive woman’s body as my own is rather disturbing, somehow… Eww ---
