See favorite actresses made up as legendary celebs, plus the famous faces they actually resemble

HELENA BONHAM CARTER

Plays: Elizabeth Taylor
But looks more like: Delta Burke
Sure, she has the raven coif and violet eyes, but what Carter (center), who's playing Taylor in BBC America's upcoming Taylor and Burton, really has are the painted face and sassy expression that Designing Women's Burke always wore.

JEWEL

Plays: June Carter Cash
But looks more like: Meredith Phillips
With her pretty eyes and sweet smile, Jewel (center) is a little less country – the look she's supposed to have as Cash in this year's TV movie Ring of Fire – and a little bit more reality star, à la former Bachelorette Phillips.

NAOMI WATTS

Plays: Princess Diana
But looks more like: Tina Brown
Last year, nearly 25 percent of you agreed that Watts (center) resembled editor (and Princess Di pal) Brown more than the royal, whom she plays in the upcoming film Diana.

AGNES BRUCKNER

Plays: Anna Nicole Smith
But looks more like: Megan Hilty
Smith was a fan of Marilyn Monroe, and Hilty played her on TV, but it's Bruckner (center) who's the common denominator here. Cast as the late model in Lifetime's upcoming TV movie The Anna Nicole Story, she's more of a doppelgänger for the Smash star.

AMANDA SEYFRIED

Plays: Linda Lovelace
But looks more like: Susan Sarandon
Are we watching Rocky Horror here? Because Seyfried (center) is reminding us much more of Janet Weiss … and much less of late porn star Lovelace, whom she portrays in this year's biopic Lovelace.

LINDSAY LOHAN

Plays: Elizabeth Taylor
But looks more like: Megan Fox
Not only did critics (and viewers) pan Lohan's (center) portrayal of Taylor in the 2012 TV movie Liz amp Dick, but they also harped on her transformation. We think the look is fine … if Lohan were playing Fox, that is.
