Until this weekend, I thought I was crazy. I kept reading that most of you think that Camille looks like Grace and I really couldn't see the resemblances you're talking about. But this weekend, my family went to visit my uncle. He's a plastic surgeon. For us, family resemblances are a matter of opinion, but for him, those are facts. After all, he studied for it. I went into the internet and took a big bunch of pictures of Camille, Grace and Stephanie between all ages. Then, I took him to the computer with me, explained the story and asked "Am I crazy?". And he said no. But he said that you're not crazy either. And he gave me a full explanation that I'll try to resume for you.
He said that because Camille is blond, milk skinned and chubby(just like Grace was as a little girl), people tend to confuse because those are the most obvious characteristcs. But she actually has a small percentage from Grace. He said that most of of her lines, features, etc, are from Stephanie. He also saw other small percentages from others in her family but Stephanie's percentage totally overshadows the percentage of all others.
He also said that it may have a second explanation to go along with the first one, but to be sure of that, we would need a psychologist. That second explanation would be that Grimaldi fans may really want to see a big resemblance between them. You know, a wish to see Grace alive again. So, those people subconsciously over see Grace in Camille. I don't know if that makes sense for you but I found it a very realistic possibility.
