I was caught by this odd shot of the delicious Scarlett indulging one of her kinkier fantasies.

You seem to have been having a Scarlett day. Nothing wrong with that! She really is rather Phwooooardingdonggrrrrrryabbadabbadooooowahooooo if you see what I mean. Of all the current crop of stars she is the one who I can see getting one of those long term stardom Oscars at some ceremony half a century hence. That said, today I spotted all of those photos comparing the young Christopher Walken with Scarlett, and you have to admit they do look alike!

Hi, Gary -- so first I checked out a few of the gazillion sites on the supposed Walken/Scarlett resemblance -- they're not all that persuasive, IMHO.

Second, one sees a sad truth about Walken: one of those sites put up dozens of his pics over the 40-odd years he's been at it, starting with the glam photo of him that occasioned all the comparisons with Scarlett -- and now, circa 2014, he's really Dorian Gray! OMG -- as bad as Robert Redford!

If you don't mind my saying so, I prefer MY Scarlett tumblr to the sites you discovered...

Well, I definitely prefer looking at photos of Scarlett rather than Walken, whatever the vintage (Your Scarlett tumblr wins, no arguments, as I'd much rather look at pictures of a pouting Scarlett than a pouting Walken).

Walken's actually eligible for an old-age pension in Britain, and definitely looking pretty scary these days. I remember from years back talking to an actor who said to me "To a leading man, age is like a mugger. They go strolling down the street without a care in the world, then age suddenly leaps out of a dark alley and kicks them in the face a few dozen times. Covered in cuts and bruises, spitting out teeth, they limp off to their agent and tell them "I know that I look a terrible mess, but it doesn't matter as I've suddenly decided that I want to be a character actor!" ;)

Thanks, Gary -- enjoyed your vignette of the leading man NOT ready to turn character actor. I must say that Redford HAS managed to take hold of the "character" possibilities. That film a year ago, where he plays a solo sailor off in the Indian Ocean -- with his boat damaged and sinbking out from under him. (Since there's no one to talk TO, he has virtually no lines* -- but plenty of ACTING.)
