Thanks to series of knitterly links, I ended up at MyHeritage today (thanks to Kim of Yarn Abuse for providing the final link in the chain.) By uploading images from my Flickr, I found out that I look like a Bollywood actress, a well-respected star of stage and screen, a famous telepath, a controversial filmmaker, and the Ghost Whisperer (also on the list David Schwimmer, Sharon Stone, and Andie McDowell). The best that I can tell is that my angle and expression vaguely match the photos of these celebrities.
When I did this for John his #1 lookalike was Elvis Costello. It might have been the glasses or perhaps this says something about my taste in men.
Uri Geller! I can't stop giggling.
I think it's that the angle of your photograph elongates your nose. You don't look a thing like Uri Geller, or really any of those stars, from the pics of you that I've seen. I'll have to do this with my picture too now.
BTW, I love reading new posts to your blog again. A woman in my knit group mentioned you the other day because she was sitting next to you at the Lucy Neatby class. Small world!

I don't know... I can see Laura Linney. But try another picture and see what happens - the site says if the same celebs repeat several times, they're your "celebrity twins"! (Woo!)

Whoa! 80% kareena kapoor! She is one of the most popular stars in Bollywood! Go to India, and you will have millions following you, literally!

This is a riot! I totally have to do this when I get home (i.e., have access to my home computer with photos of me on it).

A friend of mine is convinced that this site is some sort of government conspiracy to gather photos to match to information on the general public. I'm not sure I'm convinced, but I'm the juxtaposition of Leni Riefenstahl with Jennifer Love Hewitt is delightful!
