1. I Married a Witch -- Veronica Lake

When I was in college, a boy in one of my classes told me I looked like Veronica Lake. This being a couple of decades before the Internets, I had to go to the library to look up her picture because I didn't know who she was. Needless to say, I was pleased with the comparison. ;)
