A neighbor of mine could win this -- Insurance Agent Wins Hemingway Look-Alike Contest at Key West's Hemingway Days.

I know it's Key West, but why are they always lookalikes of Old Hemingway? For that matter, why is Old Hemingway the popular image of the man?

As a reader of his works I tend to picture him as he looked while writing them, and for most of them, that's Young Hemingway. Man-crush grrrrowl!

With old Hemingway, you're halfway there just by growing the beard and putting on the shirt. More conducive to contests, I'd figure.
