Sure, everyone says Washington is the Hollywood for ugly people, but Yeas & Nays isn’t wholly convinced.
We’ve found there are definitely attractive Washingtonians out there — and they even may resemble some of Hollywood’s most beautiful.
Susanna Quinn conceded to Yeas & Nays she often is compared with “Desperate Housewives” star Marcia Cross, but there was a time when she was actually stalked down for looking like Twitter’s queen.
“At a White House Correspondents Dinner after party, I was flattered that this young man was so desperate to have to have his photo with me until he said, ‘I LOVE YOUR DAD!’ I said, ‘How do you know my dad?’ he said, ‘JOHN McCAIN!!’ Then, I cried …” Quinn said.
Katherine Kennedy said she often hears that she looks like Jessica Simpson and Faith Hill, but confessed “I wish I looked or could sing like them.”
Here’s our first-ever list of Washingtonians and their celebrity doppelgangers.
Pamela Brown = Rachel McAdams
When girl-next-door Pamela Brown reports live for WJLA, one can’t help but see her resemblance to actress Rachel McAdams with Brown’s heart-shaped face, full lips and blond locks.
Tony Podesta = Robert DeNiro
Their Italian heritage may highlight their mobster look, but it’s the widow’s peak, salt and pepper hair and olive complexion that tie the D.C. power broker and the actor who plays a power broker.
Susanna Quinn = Marcia Cross
While one plays a housewife, the other is the wife of a real power player in town, Jack Quinn. With Susanna Quinn’s striking cheekbones, wide eyes and pouty lower lip, there is a clear link between the two.
Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif. = Jane Fonda
It’s the quaffed blond hair with lowlights, petite frame and A-line nose that make the “Janes” interchangeable.
Jon Favreau = Brian Austin Green
With buzzed crowns, defined features and prominent ears, you might look twice at Obama’s speechwriter Jon Favreau thinking you spotted Brian Austin Green. (Or could it be that they are both dating Hollywood starlets?)
Jessie Jackson Jr. = Cuba Gooding Jr.
Their squared hairline and defined chin make both juniors twins.
Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. = Matthew McConaughey
Both known best without a shirt, Hill hottie Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., could be easily mistaken for Matthew McCanaughey with his blond locks, baby blues, bronzed skin and we did we mention … his abs?
Katherine Kennedy = Jessica Simpson
It’s not just her wavy blond hair and big smile that match Kennedy with Simpson, it’s her high cheek bones and defined nose that mirror the pop star.
Kevin Madden = George Clooney
With their salt and paper mop, defined jaw lines and lightly shaded visage, Kevin Madden with his Ralph Lauren model looks resembles George Clooney.
Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill. = Neil Patrick Harris
It’s not just the fact that Schock is the baby of Congress and Neil Patrick Harris’ breakout role was that of boy doctor Doogie Howser, but the two share boyish good looks as well. They both have charming smiles and cropped coifs, but where Schock stands out: his rock-hard abs.
Michaele Salahi = Heidi Montag
Always ready to strike a pose, the reality star and the wannabe look similar with their faux tans, narrow faces and long blond locks. Maybe Salahi will be lucky enough to one day be mistaken for a real reality star.
