I did the celebrity facial recognition thingie, using five different pictures to see if it consistently told me I looked like the same celebrities. No one matched all five times; the most I got was three

But were you told you looked like Colin Powell? They should really ask if you want male or female before they scare you like that :)
I think hair plays a very big part in it. In the picture I ran with my hair up, I got mostly men. Men with big foreheads, for that matter. I am all forehead.
I also ran five pictures and got Christina Ricci, Hillary Clinton and Ritchie Valens twice. In common, I also had Shirley Temple and Emma Watson. And if families matter, I got Chelsea Clinton too :)
Definitely an amusing thing, but yeah, still some kinks in it!
OK, me again. Out of curiousity I uploaded a picture of Orlando Bloom (the picture I used to make the above icon, chose because it was nice and clear, unlike every other picture I seem to have a famous person in, it's about good pictures of the dress I'm copying!) and he didn't come up as a match for himself. Apparently he looks like Gillian Anderson, Elvis and Walter Mondale though...
I tried that too -- because it said my husband looked like Kate Winslet, when in fact he looks like Anthony Michael Hall. So I gave it a pic of Kate, and it came up with several matches, none of whom were her, and three of whom were black....?
anyway. It did give pics of my mother and me two people in common, so maybe there's something to it? and it *is* fun!
That's interesting that you got Kate Winslet - because in that one pic of you in the Tatooine midriff outfit you look a lot like her! But in others, I don't see as strong a resemblance! You should upload that one and see what the Face Recognition thing says!

Still about foreheads. At least in the pictures shown, everyone has a big one :)
