The first time I saw a picture of Joan Baez on one of her albums (probably 15 years ago), I remember thinking: "She looks a lot my Mom when she was a teenager."
Last night on American Masters(PBS) they did a profile of Joan Baez. I have generally only seen pictures of her. After watching her for an hour or so, I just couldn't get over the uncanny resemblance she has to my mom. Particularly her phases of life. The long straight hair (60's), the shorter cut (70s-80s), and the salt and pepper look (today). There were times when it was just crazy how much she reminded me of my mother. Annie agreed.
You and Joan were both very attractive young people Mom, and you have both aged very well! You could definitely pass for Joan's sister if nothing else. Here are some comparison pics (they don't do it justice, not to mention I don't have much of a selection of older (60's) pics, which are the best matches.

That really is cool. They aren't twins, but definitely look-a-likes.
Fun.
Mom is gorgeous, so lucky you Joan!!
Thanks Jake, I wish I had her talent and money :) I like the fact that she is allowing herself to age, and go gray....not too many of us that do that. And I think it looks very good on us both :) love you Mom
that is pretty crazy! i actually like joan's music but can honestly say i never new what she looked like.
i liker her even more now
How cute. I completely agree. And I've always thought my mom reminded me of Julie Andrews, specifically Fraulein Maria.
