11/18/03 - Lookalike's spent a Lara money - Surgerynews.net

MOTHER-of-two Donna Jakab has spent more than £7,000 on surgery to look like her children's favourite computer game star Lara Croft.

Ms Jakab, 33, of Cuckoo Dene, Hanwell, has swapped her life as a mum to be a full-time lookalike of the world-famous console game and Hollywood movie icon.

She said: "My sons have got the Tomb Raider game and the film and one day after we finished watching the film one of my boys said 'mummy you look like Lara Croft.'"

Ms Jakab has since spent £1,000 on an outfit and more than £5,000 on her appearance – including a breast enlargement.

Ms Jakab then contacted a few lookalike agencies about getting work as a Lara Croft double and has been inundated with work.
