Did your parents resemble anyone famous?

My dad resembled John Garfield.

My father looked like Mark Hamill in his youth and now reminds me Benjamin Franklin.

My mother looks like Eva Marie Saint, who is about seven years older than she is.

People used to stop my mom in the early 80s and ask if she was Jane Fonda. We lived in Indiana-I rolled my little gays eyes at them.

My mom - Henrietta Hippo from the New Zoo Revue

My dad had a sort of a Sean Connery air about him....tall, semi bald, brown eyed, heavy eyebrows (which I inherited) kind of distinguished in a very 1960's Hollywood "turtleneck and houndstooth jacket" sort of way. He did have a fair amount of scottish descent so that probably helped.

George Clooney looks like my dad. Black Irish with olive skin and green eyes. I do not have my dad’s coloring.

People told my dad all the time he looked like Mike Bauer from Guiding Light.

R1 so your dad was hot as fuck.

My mom looked quite a bit like Carol Burnett (different hair), and in my dad's college photo he is a Van Johnson look-alike.

Father: Ralph Waite (father on The Waltons)

Mother: Anne Frank and/or Judge Judy

My dad resembled John Holmes

My mother resembled Joanne Woodward.

My mother resembled Princess Diana (they were the same age) in bone structure and eye color, and played up this resemblance by copying Diana’s hair styles and fashion. When Diana died, my mother did a Diana scream of her own, and felt a great kinship to the man in the video when I showed it to her.

People would often tell my Dad he looked Dan Haggerty from that show Grizzly Adams.

This is my Dad back in the late 80s.

My mom looked exactly like Kate Hudson when she was young.

No. But people always thought my daughter liked like Clark Gable, despite being female.

My father was often mistaken for the Elephant Man.

r10, my father modeled and by my straight chick standards was very good looking. He was very well aware of his looks, how people looked was very important to him. As his daughter it was challenging, both people's reactions to him and his obsession with the superficial.

Vicki Lawrence...when she appeared on game shows in the 1980s, not as Mama.

My mother has nicer teeth/gums though.

That's hot, OP. They must have had lots of wild sex.

My father looked like James caan

My dad looked like Jim Acosta, mother nobody famous

When I was growing up my dad just WAS a morphed combo of Jackie Gleason/ Alan Hale Jr / Carroll O’ Connor. After he died and The Sopranos started we were floored by how much James Gandolfini’s Tony had the same build and mannerisms as my dad. He was pretty much “THE guy in the room. My lovely mother who is now weakened by arthritis and dementia was the “ warm and Sunny” Mary Tyler Moore - not the cool depressed one!

My mother in her youth was a dead ringer for Mary Tyler Moore, when she played Laura Petrie on the Dick van Dyke show.

My mom resembled Queen Elizabeth. Her grandmother was born in the UK so maybe we're descended from an illegitimate royal bloodline.😄 My dad liked to brag that in his youth he was often mistaken for Robert Mitchum.

My dad looked exactly like Chevy Chase. It was weird. Both Chevy and my dad are assholes.

My dad looked like a fat Roman Polanski and my mother looked like a less beautiful Rhea Perlman.

My mother looked a LOT like Elizabeth Montegomery, and when we were little she used to twitch her nose just to freak us out.

My mom looked like young Queen Elizabeth, but prettier. When I was a kid I used to think it was her on our money. My dad looked like skinny Elvis.

I ended up looking like Tony Danza.

Mama looked like Janet Leigh.

My mom looked like Faye Dunaway, except Faye had better eyebrows.

People used to tell my grandfather that he looked like Humphrey Bogart

R20 I would have eaten you dad's ass until I got to his small intestines.

My father looked a bit like Melvyn Douglas in middle age. My mother looked like the love-child of Elaine Stritch and Carol Channing, had the personality of the former and the vocal register of the latter.

People used to stop my dad in the street thinking he was Jack Lemmon. My dad said he was tempted to pretend that he has Lemmon but their voices were so different if wasn't worth the effort.

Arsenio Hall & Monique

My mother looked like Elizabeth Taylor.

My mother looked just like Jackie O.

My father was the epitome of Telly Savalas.

My mother was the epitome of Joan Fontaine.

My mother was stunning beautiful. When she and my dad lived in NYC in the late 40-50s people were always asking for her autograph thinking she was an actress..usually Susan Hayward and a couple of others I don’t remember .

I thought she was full of shit but my dad said it was truenand happened a lot

While I was growing up in the 1970s my father was always told that he looked exactly like Lorne Greene. In later years, when Lorne was out of the public memory, everyone said he looked like Anthony Quinn.

Mom was very pretty but didn't have a strong resemblance to any famous person I can think of. She never would have been mistaken for Betty White, but Betty could have played Mom in a movie.

My late Mother strongly resembled a light-skinned Black Queen Elizabeth II.

My dad looked like Bill Holden and my mom looked like Janet Gaynor.

My mother resembled Alexis Smith.

My mother looked remarkably like the older Sally Field.

When middle-aged, my dad looked like Charlie Sheen and Corey Feldman.

My dad looked like Danny Kaye. So there's that.

My mom looked like Julie Andrews and then morphed into Glenn Close.

T57. Too bad your dad didn’t look like Mary Martin.

Armie Hammer

My father was often mistaken for Paul Newman. To the point that - he worked in Manhattan NY - he was often asked for his autograph.

Sadly, I don't (at all) resemble my father.

My dad looked like Kurt Russell, and my friends had crushes on him. My mom resembled the mother from The Wonder Years.

Not when young - but as my dad aged, he looked a lot like Dan Rather. Now I'm starting to as well :(

My dad was mistaken as my brother many times and in his 30's resembled John Travolta. He wanted a black shirt and white tie and my mom said NO. Trouble is he still has that Grease look...men after stick with a style that they think still works.

I was perhaps 7 yo with my redhaired mum in the supermarket. I noticed this man following behind her. Aisle after aisle. I got scared and ran telling her " Mummy this man is looking at you"! Mum keep glancing over her shoulder till we were done shopping.. We checked out and as we were rolling the cart to the station wagon the man approached us. Timidly he cleared his throat and said " Pardon me Miss but I just had to tell you, you are beautiful like Rita Hayworth!" He fled. Mum blushed, looked at me saying" Get in the car and never tell your father about this!" Of course when we got home I immediately told Dad who broke into a big smile. Wasn't news to him.

My dad in his youth looked like Errol Flynn and my mother was always told she was a Susan Hayward type but I think it was only her hair.

When I was a kid and The Ghost And Mrs Muir was on TV, My friends all said my mom looked like Hope Lange. She sort of did. I also sometimes heard people say she looked like June Allyson.

My dad had a friend who thought Dad looked like Victor Mature. That used to bug my mother because she didn’t like Victor Mature. Sometimes when he was older one of my friends thought Dad looked like Jules Munshin.

[quote]Did your parents resemble anyone famous?

I like to think sczho.

Dad was a dead ringer for Donald Sutherland at one point. I still have a soft spot for Donald because of that.

Bing Crosby and Ingrid Bergman

My father and mother were in the audience for some dinner show in Vegas, and at one point they turned the spotlight on him and welcomed Clark Gable. Maybe an intentional "error" to thrill the audience, but still there was a decided resemblance. Meantime, my mother looked like a young Ingrid Bergman. Don't look at me like that--it's all true!

A few years ago, I found this great black and white photo of my parents when they were dating. Probably from around 1955 when they were like 18 and 20. I was a surprise baby, and they were 39 and 41 when I was born, so I never knew them when they were young and beautiful. I had it retouched and blown up and have it hanging in my house. They are both gone now and I love seeing the photo every day. It’s interesting to see people’s reactions to it…they were always attractive even when they got older, but they really did look like movie stars when they were young. My gay friends in particular are always going off about how hot my dad was, which kind of creeps me out!

When my Mom was in her twenties and thirties, she resembled Doris Day. In her late 50s and 60s, she bore a resemblance to Barbara Bush.

My Dad was a mix of Farley Granger and John Garfield.

I've been told I look like Ernest Hemingway. I do not see that.

I knew a girl whose father WAS Joe Garagiola.

Her name was Gina. Gina Garagiola.

mom - sofia loren - honest

dad - jack klugman

My mom looked like Jackie Kennedy. If Jackie had huge boobs.

Mom looked a lot like Carol Burnett when she was younger.

That reminds me of an appearance by Carol as the mystery guest on What’s My Line (seen on YouTube, I’m not THAT old). Bennett Cerf asked John Charles Daly if the guest was a beautiful woman, and Daly said “no!”. What a couple of assholes.

My dad was the doppelgänger of Rod Taylor from “The Birds.”

Not sure if this qualifies as 'famous," but my dad looks like pron star, Paul Wagner, which is why I can't watch his videos. 😲

damn, your dad is a hunk

In the late 70s and early 80s my father was a charming, career Navy man and was a dead ringer for Magnum PI but blonde like Bo Duke of the Hazard County Dukes.

A serial philanderer, he drove aCorvette and had women trailing behind him like the Pied Piper of Hamelin.

To the public my mom looked much like Lisa Bonet from Cosby Show to the point that when I was a small child people would stop us in public thinking it was her. Trippy.

I'm an eldergay, but people used to tell my mom when she was young that she looked like Paulette Goddard. My mom was quite beautiful in her youth.

My mom was always being told she looked like Anne Bancroft or Angie Dickinson.

My sister came out looking like Steffi Graf, poor thing.

My parents are still alive and look rather like Joanna Lumley and Graham Norton.

When he was young, my dad looked quite a bit like Jim Morrison (same hair even). My mom looks like a tall and skinny version of Roseanne—both have Russian Jewish ancestry, which may or may not have something to do with it.

My Dad looked like Tony Orlando, and in his later years, Jeff Goldblum. Not enough Chinese/Asian actresses around the 70's/80's/90's for my mother to resemble.

My dad was a dead ringer for Paul Newman before I was born. His cousin would tell me stories of women chasing him all the time. My mom looked like my mom

When I was a child in the 1950s/60s my dad looked like Cesar Romero and my mom looked like Sylvia Sidney. They were damned sexy!

Father looked like Monty Clift when both were young, hairy too!

With very few exceptions, god god your parents were all HAWT (no offense skinny Roseanne mom person). Trying to think off who my dad looked like and I’m only coming up with Peter Boyle when he was on Everybody Loves Raymond.

2 turds

Can any of you AI or Photoshop artists create a guy who’s a cross between Bob Crane and Madeline Kahn? I want to see what our Greg looks like.

On several occasions, people said my parents looked like Truman Capote and Tiny Tim.

My parents didn't look like anyone famous. Someone said I looked like Al Pacino if Al Pacino were tall. This person was hallucinating. I just looked Italian and was cute for about five minutes (I did mature into somewhat handsome).

However, my younger son looks a whole lot like Bradley Cooper. The Italian he obviously got from me and the Irish he got from his mother (Swedish, Irish, French Canadian). He is very handsome.

Mom & Dad looked like Jimmy Durante & Marjorie Main. In that order.

My mom looked like Judy Garland and my dad looked like Vincente Minnelli.

People said my father looked like Perry Como.

Well a lot of us are related, if you go back far enough.

My dad resembled Harry Belafonte. Just darker.

My mother resembled Trog.

Miss Piggy

My mom's mom (my grandma) tried to suppress my inner teenage rebel during the summer of 1990. She looked like Sasquatch to me.
