I did not participate, for no reason other than I chose not to. But I did think about it. Upon contemplation, I can come up with three celebrities I've been told I look like.
Shannen Doherty
I remember standing in line for dinner at the no-longer-functioning Morris Center dining hall my Freshman year at BYU. A fellow from my ward happened to be standing in line behind me. I didn't know him very well and, being the friendly person that I am, figured I should talk to him. I can't remember most of what we talked about, but right before we got to the food he looked at me and said, "You really look like that girl from 90210, Shannen Doherty." All I knew about her was that she was a bit of a diva, so I asked him if that was a good thing. His response, "Yeah." Um, thanks...
Kelli Williams
I know this actress from the few episodes of The Practice that I watched sometime during the 90's. According to IMDB she's now on a show on Fox called "Lie to Me". Personally, I think I resemble Ms. Williams much more than Ms. Doherty. Her high cheekbones, her strong chin, her big forehead, and even her hair color remind me of me. And it was a total stranger in a Jamba Juice (I think) that told me I looked like her. Good eye, total stranger.
And finally, Miss Piggy
That's right, one of my fellow Resident Assistants at BYU told me that I reminded him of Miss Piggy. I know the look I gave him was one of shock when he told me that. Yes, my nose turns up, but only slightly. Yes, I have very pale skin and have been known to sizzle like bacon on a sunny day. Yes, I can be quite loud on occasion. But Miss Piggy? Really?
Have been told you look like anyone famous?

My brother in law told me once that I looked like Winnie Cooper from The Wonder Years. But that was a particular picture while my hair was long and dark just like hers, so I think the similarities end there. Other than that I have no idea.
When I used to watch The Practice, I thought of you every time I saw Kelli. A very good match for you. I've been told I look like Nancy Kerrigan and Liv Tyler. I love the Liv Tyler reference myself!
I get told all the time that I look just like a blond version of Jeneane Garofalo. Like at least once every couple of months. Personally, I don't see it.
i used to get dorris day a lot. she's old-timey.
I never did get into the Facebook thing last week because I've never been told I look like anyone famous, and I didn't really think about it much. I'm just me, I guess.
You do look like Kelli Williams! I personally don't like it when people say I look like someone especially if I don't like how they look...Miss Piggy...? No, you definitely do not resemble her, although it's strange that you mention her because there is a commercial with her in it on tv right now and every time Jordan and I watch it we try to imitate Miss Piggy's voice. It doesn't work out too well. :)
