Let’s Face It 3

Laz’s post on some facial recognition software remdinded me that I’d wanted to try this out. So I uploaded three photos of myself, and here are the results:

First Photo, wherein I look like comedians, drunks, or terrible singers:
74% Sarah Silverman
68% Charlie Chaplin (ironic, considering my cat)
67% Benicio Del Toro (what?)
66% Robbie Williams
62% Michael J. Fox
62% Britney Spears (NOOOOOOO!)
61% Elizabeth Taylor
61% Calista Flockhart (what?)
61% Zsa Zsa Gabor

Second Photo, wherein I look retro and/or bearded:
67% Henry Fonda
64% Imelda Marcos
61% Arnold Palmer
61% Bam Margera (what?)
60% Monica Lewinsky (oh dear god…)
59% Pedro Martinez (what?)
57% Priscilla Presley
56% Gina Lollabrigida

Third Photo, wherein I look like I could lead a nation or an Olympic Committee:
61% Francisco Franco
61% Winston Churchill
61% Rupert Grint (Ron from the Harry Potter movies)
58% Gwenyth Paltrow
52% Frida Kahlo (Hey! I don’t have a unibrow!)
52% Ashton Kutcher
51% Juan Antonio Samaranch
47% Eddie Murphy (what?)

I’ve never been told I look like any of these people. In most cases, that’s a good thing (although I could work with Sarah Silverman or Gina Lollabrigida).

What intrigues me is that not one of these photos has the one person I’ve had at least five different people tell me I vaguely resemble: Kate Winslet.

    Since I started covering the Legislature, I realized that you share a (cute!) mouth with Arizona’s governor, Janet Napolitano. Not sure if that counts as a celebrity, but worthy of note nonetheless!
