I don't think I know who any of those people are. Julia Stiles rings a vague bell, I suppose, but with an i, not a y, so maybe I'm thinking of someone different.

Funnily enough I was thinking about this the other day.

It was Lauryn Hill, I was thinking of.

Lauryn Hill was huge in the 90s, with things like Sister Act 2 and Fugees etc.
She's a fabulous singer/rapper.

I'm sure I read somewhere she went to priding for Tax Evasion and decided to take a step back from fame.

Mary Elizabeth is Ewan McGregors newish brood mare so no wonder they're both quiet.

He used to be all over the tabloids for his shagging around, didn’t he? Wonder what he’s up to now.

Mary-Elizabeth did 10 Cloverfield Lane, Make it Happen, Final Destination 2, Scott Pilgrim, Birds of Prey and more

Julia Styles obviously did Save The Last Dance, 10 Things I Hate About You, The Omen, and others
