Here's looking like you kid! Hollywood stars and their silver-screen doubles


The Golden Age of Hollywood glamour may be gone, but it's certainly not forgotten by today's celebrities who bear more than a passing resemblance to Tinseltown's bygone stars - as Brad Pitt proved in Cannes this week when he appeared looking startlingly similar to a young Robert Redford.

some of those are a bit of a stretch... Katie Homes a doppelganger for Audrey Hepburn??? Pfft!

[Raspberry gashes]

wow, some of those are pretty spot on,especially cary grant and george, although nothing compares to cary, imo.

[McJag]

NONONO! Get Katie AWAY from Audrey!

[Sweetie]

Get Scarlett away from Marilyn.
That's nowhere close.

[Lily]

Katie Holmes looks NOTHING ....absolutely NOTHING like Audrey Hepburn. Audrey Tautou looks like Audrey Hepburn. Idiots.

[Raspberry gashes]

Jennifer love hewitt played Audrey in a film.
I reckon Anna Nicole looked like Marilyn.

[HWBL]

Wow, this item must've been put together by Helen Keller!

I don't see much resemblance for most of these, and frankly, today's actors just don't have the class of those of yesteryear. Katie Holmes as Audrey Hepburn? Gwyneth Paltrow as Grace Kelly? Puh-leez.

I can see the Paltrow/Kelly thing easier than a lot of these. (After seeing her in The Talented Mr. Ripley, it made sense, though lately she hasn't been very Grace Kelly-esque).....

But nobody has IT...that THING these other actors had. And even Clooney, who is the closest thing we have to a real old-fashioned movie star, doesn't touch it. He's close, but he's not there.

Most of these are retarded. Way to inflate already over-inflated egos.

[Gum Dumpster]

Other than Clooney, Pitt, and Kidman none of these people look like their supposed doubles they are just wearing similar hats or have similar hairdos.

[Mira]

PLEASE do NOT compare Gwyneth Paltrow to Grace Kelly. Grace's beauty cannot be touched by very many women - least of all Paltrow.

To be honest I think I would have balked at the comparison of any of today's actresses with Grace Kelly. She wasn't much of an actress (Gwyneth is actually more convincing), but she was just so incredibly beautiful IMO, whereas Gwyneth is just ok.

Audrey Tautou, I agree with you, is Hepburn-esque, and that is the only comparison I would have accepted. I adore both of them.

[HWBL]

Looks wise, Sharon Stone is much closer to Grace Kelly. Pitt is obviously Del Toro's twin, but then Del Toro is not classic Hollywood. Of this lot, Clooney is the only acceptable one.

My sentiments exactly.
