10 Famous People and Their Doppelgangers at the Museum

Maggie Smith

Lady in Blue is one of the last portraits of a woman painted by French painter Paul Cézanne. The lady in question may be either Marie-Louise (a professional model) or Madame Brémond (the painter’s governess). Either way, the sitter reminds us of British actor Maggie Smith, born in 1934 (28 years after Paul Cézanne’s death). In this promotional shoot for her role in Downton Abbey, even her clothes resemble the painting.
