Have you ever wondered if you look like someone
famous ? Al Capone, William Shakespeare, Marie
Antoinette, Charlie Chaplin, Marcus Aurelius,
Queen Victoria ?
This is a website to which a user can upload a set
of portrait photos - full face, and half-profiles. The
image is then analysed and
the features compared
to a database of famous or notorious faces from
both contemporary and historical times.
If your face is a reasonable match to such a figure,
the results are returned, along with tips on
hairstyle/colour and makeup to allow you to make
the resemblance more exact.
Ideal for costume parties, applying for jobs as
Singing Telegrams, theatre and film work.
For those with fragile egos, don't forget the
checkbox for "Search my gender only".

How far back do the archives go? I am frequently said to
resemble Cheops II. |

That's not necessarily a good thing. He's been dead 4500 years, and he's not exactly a "looker" anymore, even with the mummification. And his brains are in a jar on a shelf somewhere ... is this you by any chance ? |
|
| |
I dunno, give the jar a shake. |

Nope, that's not me. It's probably Cheops II; people often
say that I resemble him. |
|
| |
but... shouldn't the famous people be wondering if they look like me? |
|
| |
C'mon... the good and the bad deserve a shot too. |
|
| |
Indeed they do. Just stand still, won'tcha? |

Don't worry, [fries], their aim is terrible. Strong morals,
mind you, but terrible aim. |

//For those with fragile egos ... checkbox... gender...// |
|

Hmm, don't forget checkboxes for races, cultures and of course "famous or infamous"... and "hairstyle". |
|

Umm… [normzone]'s link contains a link to a site that
does exactly this. A Google search for “celebrity face
recognition” reveals several other sites that purport
to do this as well, not to mention an iPhone app. |

Well I got Vivian Hsu at 67% which looks nothing like me and who I had never heard of so I think the myheritage implementation is not working superbly well... |
|

I have been told I look like Cher or Barbara Streisand-(it's the nose) - but would much rather see if I had a resemblance to Cleopatra! |
