ia I don't see why it's questionable to have difficulty telling actors apart.

I don't have a problem telling most male actors apart (though I sometimes have trouble recognizing them in pictures). Many of them look similar, but there's a much wider range of "Hollywood Attractive" that they can fall into. Like, Ryan Gosling, Chris Hemsworth, and Ryan Reynolds are all classic leading male types, but they all have very different face shapes.

But a lot of female actors it's very hard. These two look very similar except for coloration. They also look very similar to Kiera Knightly, Natalie Portman, Daisy Ridley, Winona Ryder, Katie Mcgrath, and probably half the top actresses in Hollywood. Yeah there's differences, but if you stuck them all in a lineup with the same hair and makeup and clothes I think most people would have a very hard time telling them apart. And women who don't quite "fit in" with the standard often vary from it only slightly, like Jamie Alexander has rounded eyebrows or ScarJo has a unusual mouth shape.

Agreed. I think the range for Hollywood considers conventionally good looking is even narrower for women, particularly when it comes to general features like face and body type. You're not even going to get variations like "wiry but athletic build" to "large and ripped" like you do for men.

wasn't Kiera Knightly used as Padme's (Natalie Portman's) double in Star Wars? I mean, chosen as an intentional thing because at that age she did look a lot like Portman with the right make up on?

Of course I'd be able to tell the difference between them in a line up though. Kiera always has her mouth vacantly open when she's posing for pictures.

Well sure, it got her the part in Star Wars, but she's since gone on to have plenty of roles on her own. And holy crap I hate that habit she has of just... letting her mouth hang open slightly. I don't know if she's trying to look sexy or what, but she just looks kind of vacant.
