Celebrities then and now - Look-a-likes

Ever watch an old flick and think Hey! They remind me of *insert current celebrity*? It happens to me all the time. Unfortunately I can only remember 4 off the top of my head so here goes...

Bebe Daniels/Bebe Neuwirth


Oddly enough same first name, yet no relation. A friend pointed this one out to me and I have seen it ever since. They could be twins.

Ingrid Bergman/Debra Messing


I thought it since the 1st time I saw Casablanca about 5 years ago. To me they look like they could be family.

Ilona Massey/Kim Catrall


Not so much always as much as in this photo of Massey. Hello Samantha Jones!

Carmen Miranda/Sandra Bullock


If anyone were to play Carmen today, it would have to be Bullock. Not only does she physically remind me of Miranda, but I think he could opull off Miranda's high energy and cookiness -- without turning her into even more of an exaggeration of her character.

I know these are not the best comparision photos... give me a break... I just woke up! :-D

5 I don't and 5 I do.

Inspired by this post by Amy Jeanne, I thought I too would give my top 5 and my less than favourable 5.

Less than favourable 5
Betty Grable


I don't know what it is about her. I just never got her sex appeal. Granted her very very young photos she is gorgeous, but the 40's-50's Betty that most are familiar with - I just don't think is pretty.
*I used to date a guy that LOVED Betty Grable. We used to debate over who had better legs, her or Ginger*


Audrey Hepburn


Here is another beloved actress that I never "got". Though I'd kill to have her figure, I just didn't get why she was so popular.


Joan Crawford
(don't kill me Amy Jeanne)


Though I enjoyed her performance in The Women. I just could not and cannot like her. She was always a harsh personality that I just couldn't connect with.


Claudette Colbert


She looks like a pug to me. Quite frankly she is a bit tubby for me too. Quit your fatty hating comments. I don't care if you are fat or chubby, I am more attracted to slim figures. I never saw anything in her that I could like.


Veronica Lake


She rather bores me. I find her expressions lacking a persoanlity. She is just dull to me.


Now the 5 I LOVE!

Jean Harlow


Whiney, blonde, gold digging, and slutty. Am I decribing me or Jean? She was beautiful and fun. Enough said.

Ginger Rogers


She's spunky and cute. Although she is a bit more annoying when playing a brat than Jean, I still find her superb.

Barbara Stanwyck


I confess. I didn't like this lady at all. I found her atrocious in Lady of Burlesque and that pretty much left a sour taste in my mouth. Years later I watched Double Indeminity and Ball of Fire. She won me over. Perhaps I should give Lady of Burlesque another try.


Rita Hayworth


She's pretty and fun. Really do you need more to love her?

Esther Williams


I have never seen one of her movies, but damn is she gorgeous!!
