Supposedly, Charlie Chaplin once came in something other than first (I think I read sixth, but wouldn't swear to it) in a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest.
Yeah Dolly Parton lost to a drag queen in a Dolly Parton lookalike contest 😂
Thou shalt not publish an article about looks without including a photograph.
Snopes includes a photo but there is no confirmation it is THE photo.

Haha thank you! even if that's not from the contest, it's a great picture nonetheless.
pretty sure that has happened to a lot of famous people
Yes, but how many of them named an album after the incident?
