Tricia Helfer / Natasha Henstridge Similarities

For a while I found myself mixing up the two women - particularly when Helfer started to garner mainstream attention in Battlestar Galactica as I kept thinking of Henstridge, whom I alread knew of for several years since around the time Species cae out. Nowadays I can (mostly) keep them separate in my mind but, out of curiosity, I recently checked out their IMDB pages to find that they have more in common than I even first knew regarding their background or observed in terms of physical appearance.

Consider they are both:

- born in 1974 only four months apart
- raised in small town Alberta (though one was born in Newfoundland)
- the same exact height of 5'10" (1.78 m) with a similar build
- beautiful (by prototypical western standards) and blonde (natural?) with 'light' eyes
- models who turned turned to acting, getting their breakout roles in sci-fi fare
- currently listed in exactly 39 projects as an actress on their respective IMDB pages (though one had a five year headstart)

There are probably other things they have in common that I haven't noted and don't feel like seeking out, just as there are obviously some key differences e.g. Helfer is currently married and childless while Henstridge is a divorced mother (but reportedly engaged).
