Kate Walsh, mostly known for her role as Dr. Addison Montgomery in Grey’s Anatomy, bears a striking resemblance to the French actress Catherine Deneuve. The two have no definite connection with each other. But both of them are actresses and share a similar face.
There is almost a 24 year age difference between the two, nevertheless, people can’t help but wonder if young Deneuve was actually Walsh.
People often flock to Twitter to express their confusion.

Fans of Grey’s Anatomy have also noted the resemblance between the actresses.
Kate Walsh does indeed look like Catherine Deneuve. Oh yeah, we're seeing "Grey's Anatomy" sessions 1 & 2 all over again. What a great show. — Adrian Kosmaczewski (@akosma) November 23, 2009
I think the only reason why I liked Kate Walsh (Addison - Grey's Anatomy) is because she looks like Catherine Deneuve — سارة الذيب (@Sara_wolf) May 24, 2011
Even the series couldn't help make a reference to their uncanny similarity. In season 2, episode 20 of the series, the husband of a patient mentions that Walsh's character, Dr. Montgomery, looked like Deneuve.
#NeverForget that Kate Walsh got compared to Catherine Deneuve on Grey's. I'll still be fangirling about it in my grave, tbh. — lou ღ (@LouisagoestoTN) August 23, 2016
Some have even compared Walsh as the long-lost child of the French actress.
While others couldn’t help but take a far-fetched approach — both the actresses are the same person and are vampires.

Walsh On Resemblance With Deneuve
The 53-year-old herself has noted the similarity between the two of them. In June 2017, Walsh took to Twitter to post pictures of her woman crush, often hashtagged as #WCW.
It was no other than Deneuve.
