When it comes to my celebrity lookalike, for a long time, I'd been told it was Bette Midler.
One of my high school teachers, who was a big fan, even told me I walk like her.
So, that was my go-to answer when such questions came up.
But then, a few years ago, the boyfriend and I were looking through some pictures taken on New Year's Eve 2006, and when we came upon this one of me in profile, we stared at each other and yelled, "Amy Winehouse!"
I couldn't be more different than the dearly departed and incredibly talented Amy, but when we did an image search and found this picture of her, we realized there was definitely a resemblance.
So, in honor of designanator's open call, here's me and my celebrity twin:

Who's your celebrity twin?

out on a limb - I think in general I look more like Bette Midler, but this photo really hit us with the Amy Winehouse resemblance! Do you have a celebrity twin?
designanator: Thanks so much for this fun OC idea! I'm sorry I put two; it's mainly from indecisiveness, since as I wrote to out on a limb, I think I generally look more like Bette Midler, but that one picture of me looking just a bit Amy Winehouse-esque cracks up me and the boyfriend all the time. Thanks again for such a cool OC and I can't wait to see other people's responses!

At my old job, we'd occasionally discuss who would play us in the movies. The consensus seemed to be that I would be played by Drew Carey.

When I was acting and people would ask me for my "celebrity type" I would often say, "Bette Midler meets Sophia Loren somewhere in the middle." That was before Ricki Lake got more famous than Sophia Loren...
What a neat idea--the celebrity look alike question. I was laughing about it recently with a friend because when I was bartending, I'd get the "you look just like..." thing all the time (usually when customers were hoping for a free drink, haha). Basically, name a brown-eyed brunette actress--from Natalie Wood to Natalie Portman to Judy Garland to Debra Winger, depending on the age of the customer--and I was compared to her, even though I honestly don't look anything like those beautiful actresses. But it's fun to imagine.
