Barbra Streisand:

and Fanny Brice:

Even more so now than when Streisand played Brice in Funny Girl.

Isn't it interesting how Hollywood's "types" never seem to change? The years go by, but for every Golden Era movie star there is a modern (often quite similar-looking) counterpart.

On a musical theme - Have you ever noticed that you never see Rod Stewart and Petula Clarke in the same room? Odd...

Of course this really is "This Picture of Person X Looks Like This Picture of Person Y."
For instance, Liv Tyler couldn't actually play Audrey Hepburn any more than, say, Ralph Bellamy could stand in for Fred Astaire.

Now Natalie Portman, on the other hand...

"Who would be best cast to play Golden Era actor/ess X in a movie?" would change things a bit.

Yes, it would. And yes, some of these examples are just a matter of a particular photograph of one person resembling a particular photograph of another.

What I'm looking for in starting the thread was true (or near-) doppelgangers, as I think Ms. Leeves and Ms. Bond are (and my second two examples, which I've not yet revealed).

But what the heck, in between suggestions of near-mirror images, these others are fun.

and now we all know where 80s Madonna got her ideas from!!!! She copied Joan from the ribbon of the head to the print in the dress to the hairstyle ... she copied her totally ... only the ciggie is missing!

I've always thought James Franco looks a lot like James Dean.

I think he does that on purpose, but i definitely see it. More in the hair and the style than actual looks. Although he really nailed it. To my eye, he almost looks more James Dean than James Dean sometimes, despite that being a contradiction.
