Over in the Men's Room, we did a little experiment and some of us thought it might fly on it's own. We studied Hedy Lamarr and Vivien Leigh as look-a-likes.
So if anyone cares to post side-by-side photos of actors they thing resemble each other, that is what this thread is about.
First off, as I explained, I have no idea how to do photos, so Garbomaniac was nice enough to do it for me.
What about Joan Caulfield, and Joan Fontaine? Caulfield has softer features, but I think Fontaine's are similar.

Sometimes Stars can look like sportsmen
I know you won't know of him, but I was watching Dancing On Ice and thought actor Jeremy Edwards from Holby City could play tennis ace Tim Henman, if he could master some of the racket skills required.
Likewise if Harrison Ford was 10-yrs younger, spoke with an English accent and could play golf, he could have done The Nick Faldo Story.
In our version of Dancing With The Stars, Strictly Come Dancing, we have presenter Bruce Forsyth (Star and Bedknobs And Broomsticks) and one of the dancers Anton Du Beke. Anton can sing, so provided he could act he'd be the obvious choice to play Mr. Personality Bruce in a movie. The rest of the dancers joke that Anton is his love child and if you had seen the song and dance routine they did together on the show, you'd see the resemblance was uncanny.

Julia Roberts-Carole Smilie
Vivien Leigh-Margaret Lockwood

Now for Larry, here are all of the gals you listed. They are all stunners and resemble each other in various ways, all except O’Sullivan! Are you sure you wanted HER in this stellar line up?
Holy Smokes, guys! This picture posting is a lot of work! First, I have to find a picture on the net if I don’t already have one that I think goes with the others. I didn’t have anything on O’Sullivan or Medina, and no good ones of Paulette, so that was time consuming. Then, I have to put them on photo shop to resize them for unity, conformity, and moirefinnie! Ha! Then, I have to load all of them into my photobucket, and then write up the posts! It honestly took me two and a half hours to do both Mrsl’s and Larry’s requests! So, if I were either of you, I would just forget about learning how to post pictures! No, seriously it is a lot of fun, but very time consuming.
Stuart, I just didn’t have time to do any of yours!

Wowsers! thanks Garbo, these are incredible pictures. And I'll bet Moira is happy with the sizing, too! 
I see a bit of a resemblance between Ms O'Sullivan and Ms. Leigh. Especially when Ms. Leigh wasn't too heavily made up.
Patricia Medina looks like an older Hedy, don't you think?
Fab pictures, thank you!

Thank you James,
You really are the Photoshop Master of the World. I will request a knighthood from The Queen for you forthwith and here-to-fore and pip-pip!!
I guess you're right about poor dear Maureen; she is lovely but no Hedy Lamarr.
But, I have always loved her and thought she was a wonderful vision on screen. I like Mia Farrow too but haven't gone in raptures about her as with her mother!!
In the long run, I guess they made the right decision with Scarlett & Vivien.
Thanks again!!
Larry

Thanks guys.
Caulfields' quizzical look messes up the first set-up. The left color one looks more like Janis Paige to me. Ahhh, but the braided hair one . . . their cheekbones, mouth, and eyes are all the same!
In the longer line-up by garbomaniac, I'd put Paulette next to Donna Reed, and Maureen O'sullivan next to Sister Mary Lucinda from my high school.

remember this?
Hedy Lamarr, that creature so fair, they say that Joan Bennett wears all her old hair.
Eady Adams, as a gag and with makeup was the spittin' image of Marilyn Monroe. ... mel

Well, hey there guys. Thank you for the accolades.
Mrsl, it is almost impossible to find pics of Joan Caulfield. I searched and searched and finally settled on the ones pictured. They aren’t very good. I am a big fan of Joan. Dear Ruth and Dear Wife are two of my all time favorite films. But, I do see the resemblance, and I’ll tell you a secret, I didn’t notice the braid in both pics until you pointed it out. That was either dumb luck, or I have a better eye than I thought!
Now, as for putting Paulette next to Donna Reed, you are right! I hadn’t seen that before, but it could just be the picture, and comparing poor Maureen to a NUN! HA! Now, THAT’s funny!
Larry, thanks, but I really am NOT the master of the world! Ha! You are much too kind. I wish I could colorize. I just can’t figure it out, or maybe my program doesn’t have the right tools. But, I will take the Knighthood! Sir James! I like it! And, I am a big fan of Maureen, too. She was great on her own and as a second to Garbo, Shearer, and Garson. I just saw her in Sadie Was a LADY with Ann Southern in the lead, and she played a very plain, next to unattractive girl. When I was watching it, I thought, “What is the matter with her; she looks so bad.” But, then I realized she hardly had any makeup on at all. But, in David Copperfield, or Great Expectations, I can’t remember which one she was in, she was lovely.
Knitwit, yes Patricia does look like Hedy in that pic. It is also very hard to find pics of Patricia. I didn’t mean to pick one that made her look old. Some stars are very obscure on the net as far as photos.
Mel, yes, I do remember that! And, I always thought Edie looked like Marilyn.

Garbo
Is this thread strictly for women lookalikes? Reason I asked, I thought Paul Harvey and Moroni Olson looked a lot alike.
Jane Fonda certainly resembled papa although I don't think Henry was considered for the part of Scarlet.
I liked Harlow much better as a Brownette ... mel

Hi Mel:
I always thought Jason Robards resembled Bogie a lot, and was not surprised when Lauren Bacall married him after Bogie's death, I thought it was kind of a rebound thing.

Mel, no, this is not just for women. And, remember it is not I who started this thread. You really should have directed that question to Mrsl. Anyway, again you have picked the most obscure people. I could find only one pic of Moroni, and very few of Paul.
Mrsl, I should have posted side by sides of Humphrey and Jason because I too see the resemblance and always have. I thought the same thing of Bacall years ago.
and Stuart, Michelle Lee and Helen Shapiro?
I hope someone else gets the bug to post look-a-likes. I don't want to hog the thread. And, besides, I need reinforcement.
