Celebrity Look-Alikes & Common Mis-identifications
 

In the spirit of trying to jump start our new discussion areas this seemed like an idea (we'll see if it turns out to be a good one ;) ). There are a number of Celebrity Look-Alikes and Common Mis-identifications floating around the 'net (strangely many of them are nude photos, can't imagine why) and we all get bit on the rear end by them. I thought it might be helpful if we started collecting them in one place.

So let's start with the pics below. Commonly posted as being of actress Linda Blair they're not. Thanks to polartrade for identifying the model as Baby Breeze, a P3nthouse model from 1974. I believe he may have additional info on her if he can be persuaded to post it here.

I don't have a great deal of information, but here's what I know. This will also give me a chance to correct some incorrect dates and misspellings I had in earlier postings:

P*nth**se ran the Baby Breese (real name: Lindsay Freeman) pictorial in January 1976 (under the title "Free as a Breese"). At the time Bob Guccione thought he would be "cute", and deliberately used the accompanying text to imply that "Baby Breese" was an underage girl (she wasn't; more on that below). Over the next few months, as the magazine received a huge volume of mail about the girl, Guccione continued the charade, going so far as to have a contest to guess her age.

All of this was occurring around the time that the infamous Guccione/Larry Flynt feud was really starting to heat up. Flynt seized the opportunity to ridicule Guccione, saying that they both knew damned well that "Baby Breese" was in fact an adult, waif-like model. Eventually Flynt even hired the model to pose for Hustler, in order to put the nail in the whole "underage" game. Her pictorial apparently ran in October of 1976.

In the following decades (even to this day) anti-pedophilia groups often held up "Baby Breese" as an example of the porn industry's misdeeds in the area. Less well-informed crusaders still seem to think that Baby Breese was in fact underage, in spite of the considerable evidence to the contrary. Others, while acknowledging that the model was an adult, still damn Guccione and hold him up as an example of how the porn business encourages their audience to fantasize about young girls.

As DTravel mentions, though, another aspect that has kept "Baby Breese" in the public eye, over the years, is that many people misidentify her pics as being a photo shoot of Linda Blair. Given the fact that the P*nth**se pictorial came out in early '76, though, at the time Blair would have been, at the latest, seventeen years old.

Also, as I've mentioned before, even at that age Ms. Blair had already developed a rather, er, healthy body (there were, for example, rumors that during the filming of Airport '75 the wardrobe department had to strap down Blair's chest to preserve the illusion of her character being a younger girl). As amusing as it sounds (or sad for Lindsay Freeman, depending on how you look at it), even a younger Linda Blair wouldn't have been as flat-chested as "Baby Breese".

Still, many correctly point out that the two young ladies did have a certain facial resemblance. Much of it was smoke and mirrors, though, simply the result of the lighting, makeup choice, etc. She didn't look nearly as much like Blair in the Hustler pictorial, for instance. When later appearing in softcore comedies and such, she didn't look like Ms. Blair at all:

Eventually Lindsay Freeman began performing under the name Alexandra Day, at which point she went blonde and apparently picked up a set of implants. At that point no one would have ever suspected that she was once thought of as a Linda Blair lookalike:

Freeman/Day's last credit, that I know of, is a 1992 video called Super Leg-ends. Some sources have it listed as a hardcore film. I can't verify this, although it is worth noting that other castmembers listed to be in the film are regular hardcore porn performers: Tiffany Storm, Misty Rain, Bunny Bleu, etc.

Lindsay Freeman does have her own thread here at VEF, which includes postings and links to her entire P*nth**se pictorial:

Dare I even mention the Kylie Minogue sex tape??

Obviously you do dare. :D Care to expand on that, please? This is a discussion thread after all.

Out there on a couple of celeb sites is a film which is flagged as being kylie having sex with a black guy. It's amateur quality, shot from a single position in a room, and the female star / doppelganger / whatever seems oblivious to the fact that the action is being filmed. I posted composite caps into the kylie thread and received a warning for that, so unless and until i'm told by a mod that its ok to post material on this here, I would suggest that you type "kylie minogue interracial sex tape" into the google search bar, and persist doggedly till you reach a workable download. The lengthy and very enjoyable clip i found includes the occasional appearance of the text "found by busyboy 26"...

OK. On Sams' go-ahead (see below), here's my original post on the subject, and a couple of caps..

Feel free to post 2 - 3 caps in this thread, and post the rest in the celeb fakes thread, you can post a link to it here as well.

I must admit to being curious, myself. :D

Thanks Sam; added the images into the earlier post here. I have the vid, but as you may have noticed, I haven't uploaded movies before, so would need guidance if I'm the one who has to do it...:o.

Oh, and by the way I'm more than a little reluctant to brand this as a fake by posting into that thread until I know whether it's a lookalike or not. As someone once sang..."Call me a cock-eyed optimist..."

PPS..Editing this post to relay acknowledgement of a minor eureka moment ; this is the ideal place to put up posts of stuff you stumble upon which may or may not be significant but might need confirmation from peers / further info before slotting into the relevant thread .

Speaking of Kylie and lookalikes, here are a couple of pics which, to my eyes, look a lot like a young Kylie. I don't think they're fakes but I have zero info on them. What do you guys think? Have you seen them before? Have I stumbled across celebrity gold or is it just wishful thinking?

and here's an early cap of her in Neighbours for comparison:

Personally, I'd really love to think that it was Pat, but couldn't say for sure. I posted it because I thought that the facial features were very similar... especially the mouth. Everyone has to start their career somewhere!

Here's one that's making the rounds. This has been misidentified as being Lindsay Lohan, usually labeled as a promotion for the up-coming Linda Lovelace biopic Inferno. First, Lindsay has been dropped from that project, replaced by Malin Ackerman. Second, the pic is actually of Jimmy Choo Company co-founder and former UK Vogue editor Tamara Mellon.
