Many years ago my nephews thought I had a striking resemblance to Robert Wagner (Hart To Hart) but I really think they meant his Butler Max.

We had a similar thread recently and one poster said she resembled Koo Stark when she was younger. That image has stayed with me - Koo still looks a gorgeous woman is recent photos.

I look totally different to when I was 25. Hope I change again in extreme old age to resemble someone nice looking like Cliff (or even Koo, for that matter) ;-)
