Are they related?

This probably doesn't fit in this conference, but then it doesn't fit in "drool" or "babes" either. Which celebrities (movie stars preferably, to fit in this conference...)do you think looks alike?

~AlFor Sun, Dec 14, 2003 (17:12) #1

I started this topic particularly to address the very similar faces and general appearance of Steve Buscemi and Dave Grohl, but I guess it could work with Alice Cooper and Tim Burton too.

dr. phil and jeffery tambor jim nabors (who has a great singing voice, by the way) and lance berkman alfred e newman and a certain semi-literate fratboy who pretends to be a texan and whose existence is an affront to the constitution he swore to preserve but has never read joe e brown and buster keaton (when they were older)

~terry Mon, Dec 15, 2003 (07:22) #3

Saddam Hussein and the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.

~AlFor Mon, Dec 15, 2003 (17:44) #4

Actually, Dave Letterman looks more like Alfred E. Newman than the madman you mention does.

~pmnh Tue, Dec 16, 2003 (01:27) #5

i suppose letterman has kind of a howdy doody thing going, too

He had a great top ten last night. Top Ten Questions Asked By Saddam Hussein When He Was Captured 10. "Be honest...have you ever seen a nicer spider hole than this?" 9. "Who's got a coat hanger -- this beard itches like a son of a bitch!" 8. "Anyone have a mint?" 7. "Is this about the illegal music downloads?" 6. "Am I going to be on 'Cops'?" 5. "Which describes me better right now -- 'haggard' or 'grizzled'?" 4. "How did you get past my impenetrable styrofoam brick?" 3. "Do I get the 25-million-dollar reward?" 2. "How's the war going?" 1. "Will you go easy on me if I tell you where Martha Stewart is hiding?"

Reese Witherspoon and Alicia Silverstone Sam Neill and the guy whose name I can never remember who was in "Vegas" and "Spencer for Hire". He died very recently.

Robert Urich

~autumn Thu, Dec 18, 2003 (23:17) #9

That's it!!!!! Also lumped in with the two aforementioned blonde 20-something actresses is Kate Hudson. They're all pretty much interchangeable in my mind.

~paula Fri, Dec 19, 2003 (00:59) #10

Aww.... Kate? Interchangeable? Surely not after you see Almost Famous.... hmm... let's see.... I always get Kate Jackson and Victoria Principal mixed up.

~AlFor Fri, Dec 19, 2003 (04:14) #11

Victoria Principal was better looking than Kate Jackson in the '70s; don't know about now. Victoria Principal always gave me the impression of being an empty shell, though. Which reminds mw: Andy Gibb and George Michael (if you look at archive photos of both)

~terry Sat, Dec 20, 2003 (11:51) #12

Marge Helgenberger and Jill Clayburgh.

~autumn Sat, Dec 20, 2003 (22:39) #13

Yeah, similar bone structure. Margot Kidder and Debra Winger (not that I've seen either one of them in anything in 15 years)

~terry Wed, Dec 24, 2003 (09:24) #14

The Baldwin Brothers, of course I'm cheating because they're related. But sometimes I get them mixed up.

~autumn Wed, Dec 24, 2003 (10:59) #15

Oh, absolutely. Gary Sinise and Chris Cooper (American Beauty, Adaptation)

~AlFor Wed, Dec 24, 2003 (17:49) #16

Adam and Stephen don't really look like each other...

~AlFor Wed, Dec 24, 2003 (17:50) #17

Sorry, that should have been "Alec and Stephen". Is there an Adam Baldwin?

~wolf Thu, Dec 25, 2003 (16:13) #18

Leslie Ann Warren and Susan Sarandon==not twins but I always get them mixed up for some reason!

~AlFor Fri, Dec 26, 2003 (01:05) #19

The only thing I remember Leslie Ann Warren for was her appearance on The Muppet Show when they made a running gag of her name, confusing her with a Muppet act called Lesley & Warren...

~AlFor Mon, Dec 29, 2003 (21:18) #20

Was shopping today and saw the cover of the album Emotion by Barbra Streisand. I immediately resloved to file this one: Barbra Streisand (on the cover of Emotion) and Glenn Close (as she appeared in Fatal Attraction)

~AlFor Wed, Dec 31, 2003 (17:51) #21

Masters of Alliteration: Ozzy Osbourne & Gary Glitter

~autumn Sat, Jan 3, 2004 (13:30) #22

David Hyde Pierce & Matthew Letscher I saw "Identity" starring John Cusack last night and the beginning has this Niles Crane look-alike as a D.A. I had to look him up at IMDB to make sure it wasn't DHP.

~CherylB Sat, Jan 3, 2004 (16:00) #23

Tom Bosley and David Doyle.

~terry Sat, Jan 3, 2004 (17:47) #24

Who?

~AlFor Sat, Jan 3, 2004 (18:19) #25

Just watched "Four Dogs Playing Poker" Balthazar Getty and Charlie Sheen

~autumn Sat, Jan 3, 2004 (20:55) #26

Terry--Richie's dad from "Happy Days" and Bosley from "Charlie's Angels". Most definite resemblance!

~AlFor Sun, Jan 4, 2004 (12:44) #27

Autumn, thanks for letting me know they're not the same person. I was under that delusion for decades!

~autumn Sun, Jan 4, 2004 (17:49) #28

Which begs the topic question...Are They Related??

~AlFor Sun, Jan 4, 2004 (19:30) #29

From IMDb's biography of David Doyle: "Trivia: Sometimes mistaken for the actor Tom Bosley, who played Richie Cunningham's dad, Howard, in the TV series "Happy Days" (1974), because of Doyle's "Bosley" character on Charlie's Angels (1976) (TV), and a slight similarity in facial features, body type, and voice." No mention of being related; I'll look at Tom Bosley's bio next...

~AlFor Sun, Jan 4, 2004 (19:35) #30

Tom Bosley was born two years and two months before David Doyle. Bosley's from Chicago, Doyle's from Lincoln, Nebraska. They went into a lot of detail about Doyle's lineage and didn't mention Bosley's. So I don't know if they're related...

~autumn Mon, Jan 5, 2004 (23:10) #31

I'll tell ya, Lincoln and Chicago aren't that far apart! LOL

~autumn Sun, Mar 14, 2004 (22:30) #32

This just occurred to me while watching Animal Planet tonight: Jessica Tandy and Jane Goodall

~cfadm Sun, Jul 2, 2006 (04:53) #33

Man I can't think of one.
