In the Hollywood world, there are many starlets that look alike. I decided to feature them in an article. But looking at an article only with celebrities' pictures would be a little droning to read. Therefore I am also including their mini biographies that explain how they gained their celebrity status. These similar faces will make you think you're seeing double!
