canbelto Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 I just recently got into "Lost" and am watching Season 1 and isn't Rudolf Nureyev a spitting image of Boone (Ian Somerhaulder)? Don't believe me? Take a look. Link to comment
carbro Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Hmmm. I've avoided Lost, fearing addiction temptation, so with only the photo you linked to go by, I'd say the expression more than the actual face recalls Rudolf. Do you see any resemblance between Ashley Bouder and Drew Barrymore? I see one, but I wonder whether it's more the expressions than the faces. I've been websearching for Ashley pics that capture this but haven't found any. Yet! Link to comment
chrisk217 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Arne Villumsen in the early 80s looked like a younger, more handsome Jeremy Irons. It is very evident in the Napoli video. Also Nikolaj Hubbe looks a bit like Owen Wilson esp when laughing. A couple of photos (both rather serious): NH photo 1 / NH photo 2 & OW photo Link to comment

papeetepatrick Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Viggo Mortensen looks much like Baryshnikov when younger. Link to comment
anin Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Viggo Mortensen looks much like Baryshnikov when younger. Not even close. Link to comment
papeetepatrick Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Viggo Mortensen looks much like Baryshnikov when younger. Not even close. Yes, they are. http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/4074/V...iggo&seq=10 http://www.moviemarket.co.uk/Photos/P20005...b6614c8a5599556 http://broadwayworld.com/galleryphoto.cfm?...p;personid=3858 and maybe this one a little bit, has more to be with the expression in the smile, I think: http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/2187/V...iggo&seq=12 Oh well, maybe not. I thought there was something. http://www.kultura.lv/en/persons/29/ I know another dancer who looked maybe more like Viggo when young, but no publicity here. Link to comment
Helene Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I agree with papeetepatrick. Viggo Mortensen always reminded me of a cross between Baryshnikov and Tristan Rogers, the actor who played Robert Scorpio on "General Hospital." I also heard the cellist Daniel Mueller-Schott on Monday, in a joint recital with pianist Angela Hewitt. In person, he reminded me of a cross between Joshua Bell and PNB Principal Dancer Casey Herd. (In his photo, there's no resemblance to either, oddly.) In the Just the Facts section of his bio in the Vancouver Recital Society, there's an item that reads: When people praise his good looks: "As long as they are open to the music, I don't mind." In spite of his good looks and the praise he gets for it, he has a very modest and charming stage presence. Link to comment
carbro Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 From the Kultur DVD of Nutcracker with Maximova and Vasiliev, when both were in their late 40s. . . . The older Maximova (Masha): a cross between Zizi Jeanmaire and Audrey Hepburn? I tripped across this of a documentary on the Bolshoi, featuring a very young Maximova. In the last few seconds, she flashes a big smile. You could almost mistake her for Alina Cojocaru! Link to comment
Petra Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Looking at the (gorgeous) photos on the recent 'Toumanova, Yuskevitch, Krassovska' thread: Alicia Alonso - Selma Hayek, on a very-very-good day for Hayek Diana Adams - Gwyneth Paltrow Link to comment

Maybe we need a new thread: Ballet dancers with truly sunny personalities. Link to comment

Paul Parish Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Teresa Stratas did a Dance of hte 7 veils in in hte 1974 film of Strauss's opera "Salome" looking a lot like Allegra Kent -- mostly rolling around on hte floor of course, but when her face came into view, she looked a lot like Allegra.

Nanarina Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I was recently watching excerps on YouTube, one of which feautured a lovely Pas de deux, danced by former POB Etoile's Dominique Khalfouni and her husband Denys Ganio, the parents of Matthieu Ganio, one of the current Etoile's. It was amazing how much Dominique reminded me of Aurelie Dupont, (or visa versa) the style of their lyrical movement, beautiful port de bras, and musicality, was so alike. I fully realise that their training must have been in the POB Ecole, perhaps even by the same teacher, maybe Claude Bessy, but to find two Stars who look so alike is quite rare. Their likeness was not just in physical appearance, but a reflection actually in the way they dance. Link to comment
volcanohunter Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 If he had better posture, James Franco could pass for Federico Bonelli's less handsome brother: toothy mouth, deep-set eyes. Mind you, Bonelli has broader shoulders and more refined features, so I'm not sure he'd take the comparison as a compliment. My sister sees a strong resemblance between Carsten Jung and Matt Damon, but again, I think the dancer wins that contest. Link to comment

I did a Google search and in The Ballerina Gallery's picture of Alexandrova by Angela Taylor, she really does have a strong resemblence to actress Sandra Bullock. Speaking of The Ballerina Gallery, based on pictures there I'd say Angelina Jolie ought to be first choice to star in the A. Volochkova Story. Link to comment
