She looks exactly like...


Thora Birch! Anybody agree?

reply

She looks more like Kirsten Dunst than Thora Birch. People have told me I look like both Emily and Kirsten, but never Thora. Where do you see a resemblance between Thora Birch and Emily Watson?

reply

Are you sure you weren't thinking of Emma Watson?

reply

Which one of us are you talking to? I know for sure I mean Emily Watson. I've followed her work since seeing Hilary and Jackie in 1999.

I agree completely that she looks like Thora Birch. Especially if you see pictures of her when she was closer to Thora's age. They have several features that are similar - the eyes, the forehead, etc.

I can definitely see the Thora Birch and Samantha Morton comparisons, but the person Emily most often reminds me of physically is another English actress, Sarah Miles (best known for her roles in Blow-Up, Ryan's Daughter and Hope & Glory). Something to do with the huge, childlike eyes and round, doll-like face. See what you think:

Samantha Morton (Morvern Callar, Minority Report) is who first comes to mind for me.

TOTALLY! I knew it wasn't Emily Watson in 'Hope & Glory', but Sarah Miles looks just like her!
