If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

[Laura Chase]

deadpandiva brought my attention to Virginia O'Brien so I was watching some videos of her singing. She is so beautiful and reminds me of Fleur De Guerre who has the same type of gracefulness.

I agree with Laura.
Fleur, please post pics in The Pin-Up thread (Powder room)! It's always a delight. Actually this goes for all the ladies.
The one above is breathtaking.

My Heritage

I gave in to temptation and sent a pic to myheritage.com. The results surprised me; none of the celebrities I thought I resembled appeared, but other beauties I never dreamed I looked like did. The modern ones aren't as much fun. (I sent 3 different pics.)

Romy Schneider 73%

Olivia de Havilland 74%

Natalie Wood 83%

I don't really think I look like them, I was just so flattered (by a computer!). It was fun anyway.

There's a lady at work who always says I look like Katharine Hepburn. I don't know. [huh] It might be mostly my hair style, my height, and maybe how I carry myself. What do you think?

My hair is not red; it's an indeterminate color that's ash brown, golden brown, and red brown-blonde all at once. I think camera flashes and artificial light bring out the red. Natural light:

Your face seems perfect to me for 20's or early 30's
Maybe Anna Nilsson

or Helen Kane

Or Norma Talmadge

 

[Mary]

I love this tread. So many celebrities I've never heard of!!Anna Nilsson is apparently a Swedish moviestar who lived in the same small village where my grandfather used to live. I'm so going to ask him if he knew her or her family!

[Sunny]

Oh, wow! That's really neat. (They all do seem to have long noses like me, for sure!) And here I am, going all 40s. :eusa_doh:

I love long noses, they give such a distinguished and elegant profile, such as yours!

 

[AudreyH]

Alot of people say I look like Audrey Hepburn, even strangers say it. I definatly always take it as a compliment seeing she is my favourite actress of all time! When I had long hair I used to get told I look simaler to Anne Hathaway, but people now say I look much more like and Audrey when they see me.

 

[ShrinkingViolet]

My first thought was Virginia Woolf, actually.

You have the same beautiful poetic and dreamy eyes.
This is a great thread, I must remember to check it more often.

 

[ShrinkingViolet]

Margaret Lockwood, maybe? I don't know that many golden age actresses, so it might just be my imagination ...

And no, I don't think you look like Queen Silvia at all.
I'm Anna too, by the way, so we're namesakes

Oh yeah! And the nose, I love Virgina Woolf's nose, very Guinevere-esque.

Audrey, you really remind me of Natalie Wood facially - it's those big eyes and heart shaped face. Whoever you may look like you're very beautiful in your own right

I'm afraid.

Oh, definitely! Sunny is a very Arthurian/Pre-Raphaelite beauty.
Photographs by Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879)

Here's a better, more Golden-Era-esque picture of me to go on.

Not from the "Golden Era", but it just struck me that you look a lot like Leonard Nimoy, (without the "Spock" make-up, of course!)

 

[Sunny]

Oh, definitely! Sunny is a very Arthurian/Pre-Raphaelite beauty.

Wowee! I never thought of that. I must point out that although my nose is long, it's not straight.

Ironically, my other period of interest is the early 1860s. Mainstream 1860s, though, not Pre-Raphaelite, although I love the style.

 

[cherry lips]

I agree with Laura Chase and ShrinkingViolet, Sunny truely resembles all the pics SV's posted. I had no idea Virginia Woolf was such a looker! I still have no idea about terms like pre-raphaelite, though. Is that art history?

This is beautiful:

And this, I believe, is my favorite :

Yes, darling, it was a group of English painters who wanted to go back to the time before Raphael, who they think idealized too much, put beauty over truth. So they wanted to go back to the middle-ages when painters, in their opinion, represented a more truthful view of nature and thus were more skilled craftsmen. They were quite religious. Dante Gabriel Rossetti was a sort of front person of the movement. John Everett Millais is also worth mentioning, as well as John William Waterhouse, who, although a later painter, is clearly influenced by the pre-raphaelites.

I think the movement involved some poets also, but I don't know anything about that.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti: Annunciation (1850)

Dante Gabriel Rossetti: Persephone (1874)


John Everett Millais: Ophelia (1852)

John William Waterhouse: Lady of Shallot (1888)
