I don't know. I see a slight resemblance. If I look closely, I can see similarities between their individual features. But, I don't see a huge resemblance between their faces as a whole.

I don't see it AT ALL.

I see some resemblance in the cheeks, chin, nose, and eye shape. But their coloring is completely different, which kinda throws it all off (imo).

But it's hard to tell, because of their difference in body-size. (An added bit of weight can hide so much lovely bone-structure.)

No worries, though -- I still think you're crazy. ((winks))

Oh, and their mouths look similar, too. (I think I forgot to mention this one)

I think I see it in their noses and cheekbones, but that's about it. But the ends of their noses, yeah.

they do have a resemblance

It's mostly their noses. And in the way they speak, which you can't tell from the photos.

If Elllie gets fat and old and grows her hair, shell look like the contesa

ina was MUCH prettier when she was younger. she was as cute as a button
!

I like both of them so very much!

i agree! you're not alone. they have the same air about them too. they are two of my faves.

Actually, you are right.

I totally agree, and I agree with WhiplashGirlChild that it is their voices too, which you can't see from the pics. I found this entry b/c I was googling them to see if they were related!

I think you're absolutely right, but it's not only about them looking alike. They also have the same manner of speaking: slowly and sweetly. When I first saw Ellie Krieger, I was convinced that she was the daughter of the Barefoot Contessa.

Yes they resemble each other in many ways. Their expressions, mannerisms, and even voice inflections seem to be remarkably similar if they're not in some way closely related.

I was just watching her show for the first time and found this discussion because I googled "Ellie Krieger related to barefoot contessa?" I thought it was mother daughter. Eyes are similar, but the voice, cadence, manerisms, etc are very close. I suppose they are both from Long Island, NY. I also wonder if it is the same production company for both shows since even the music is similar. Oh well as my science teacher in 5th grade used to say "great minds think alike";)

IN SOME FEATURES, YES, I LIKE THEM BOTH IT'S ALL THAT MATTERS, THEY COOKED GREAT FOODS

I noticed this the first time I saw a commercial for Ellie's show. I completely agree with you. Right before I found your poll I had looked up their pictures and showed them to my boyfriend. He said they have the same nose. I swear Ellie could really be Ina's daughter.
