Celebrities and their Vintage Hollywood Doppelgängers

Hedy Lamarr and Rose McGowan

These two look like sisters but couldn't be more different! Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian-American actress, inventor, and producer. She was heavily involved with the creation of 30 films in her acting career spanning 28 years and co-invented an early version of the frequency-hopping spread spectrum. Rose McGowan is an actress turned activist.

Lucille Ball and Debra Messing

Cate Blanchett is going to play Lucille Ball in her bioptic, but we think Debra Messing would have been a better choice! Maybe she was busy... Ball was the star and producer of sitcoms I Love Lucy, The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy, and Life with Lucy, as well as making Hollywood and Paramount Pictures what it is today. Debra Messing is an actress who graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and received roles on TV shows like Ned and Stacey and Prey.
