Actress

The Resume

    (October 15, 1927- )
    Born in Perivale, Middlesex, England, United Kingdom
    Look alike of Queen Elizabeth II
    Appeared in 'Queen Kong' (1976), 'The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash' (1978), 'National Lampoon's European Vacation' (1985), 'The Naked Gun' (1988) and 'Austin Powers in Goldmember' (2002)
    Wrote the autobiography 'The Queen and I' (1986)

Why she might be annoying:

    She said her resemblance to Elizabeth in her teens was 'very, very embarrassing.'
    She tried to become an actress in her 20s, but 'I didn't get anywhere.'
    Her later acting career is based entirely on her resemblance to the Queen.
    She never fulfilled her ambition to appear on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
    She appeared on the 10th season of 'Big Brother' and tricked a contestant from Brazil into thinking she was the real QE2.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her resemblance to the Queen let her launch an acting career in her mid-40s: 'At my age, to enter into this business is really, truly remarkable.'
    She took elocution lessons to perfect the Queen's voice.
    She turned down several offers she considered disrespectful to the Queen, including 'Da Ali G Show' ('He wanted her knickers to fall down when she got into a limo') and a nude centerfold in a British magazine.
    She appreciates the Queen as more than just a good gig: 'Whether you like the royals or not, they hold this country together.'
