What famous person do people think you look like?
I look so much like Jackie Kennedy Onassis that people thought I was an actor playing her when I was an extra at the 2009 Secretariat movie shoot at Churchill Down in Louisville, KY.
People began mobbing me on the racetrack grounds, trying to get my autograph and rushing up to pose next to me for group selfies. Nobody listened to my protests and I finally realized that it didn't matter..all they wanted was Facebook bragging rights, so I finally played along!
It also happened, when, on a dare, I designed a slinky J-Lo type ballroom dance gown in 2003 and wore it to a dance in Lexington, KY.
While I was in the ladies' room at the dance, a mob of women caught sight of me and began yelling that I was some pop star who was going incognito, and they also didn't listen to my protests. When they began mobbing me, demanding my autograph, I did what they asked.
I've been told I look like Flo from the Progressive commercials.
My ex had a huge crush on Flo
Conversation with my (then) 9 year old: 'Mom, is the Progressive Lady a real person?'
'Well, she's a real person but she's an actress. In fact she was an actress on Mad Men, too.'
'Oh! Did she play the Progressive Lady on Mad Men?'
'No, she was just a regular person on Mad Men.'
'No, I mean did she still wear the same white shirt but without the Progressive Logo on it?'
'No, sweetie. She just wore regular clothes'
I used to be told Shirly Manson from the band Garbage , Kim Basinger , or Traci Lords(all from the 90's heyday for me). Looking good was easier a generation ago...
But someone on this forum said Marge Helgenberger. I googled it thinking maybe Melisandre without her amulet.. Nope - I'll take it- thanks.
i can see both the Traci Lords and the Kim Basinger depending ..
I think you look like the Church Lady! lol
@balou Well isn't that Special!!
I've been told I look a bit like an Asian George Foreman
@goldenvalleyguy But wait! It also comes with a bamboo steamer! Now how much would you pay?!!!
I have been told I look like Sally Field.
Yes, you really do look like her.
Why, thank you! What a nice thing to say.
Renee Russo, Kristen Johnston, Isabella Rossalini, and, when I was younger, Geena Davis and Kim Bassinger. I can kinda see Kristen Johnston. Weirdest part is, I hear this from women much more often than from men.
@laostus3 Thank you.
I see some Geena Davis...
When I was younger I would often be compared to Jackie Kennedy.
A coworker just told me a few days ago that she was watching "Jaws 3" and that I looked like that lady in the film, except she has blond hair. Bet you all thought I was going to say the shark!
Hmmmm. Any random Asian actress or whatever. Cause you know, we all look alike. Dressed in one of my dance outfits, a friend’s daughter said I looked like Mulan.
Either way, you are gorgeous!
@Akfishlady I can be anything people want me to be it seems. When I’m in Mexico the locals think I’m Mexican. In a New Mexico pueblo they thought I was an indigenous person. Filipinos think I’m one of them. Malaysians think I’m one of them. In grade school my friends called me a geisha. Don’t know where that came from. My distant ancestry is supposed to be Chinese but I look nothing like a Chinese person. I suspect there might be mixing of DNA in my ancestry somewhere during the colonization periods.
@Akfishlady Thanks. I just learn these days to say thanks for nice comments. I don’t usually feel comfortable with nice things said to me.
Shaggy from Scooby-Doo. And it’s happened several times over the years.
