This is really bugging me!

Driving home delirious from my 5th nightshift this morning I was half listening to the radio. I'm sure the segment was famous people who have birthdays today?

DJ said an actresses name (it was three names like phoebe waller bridge or Helena bothem Carter but not either of these!) and it triggered something in me that I could remember seeing the actress in and I wanted to check imdb but I can't remember her bloody name!

I'm sure the Dj said she was a star of les mis (have checked the cast lists for all films/shows and can't see who it could be •it's not Helena Bothem Carter) and I also thought she said she was in Heathers (but this could be swapped out for any one word film around this era) but I also can't see any names on the cast list that fit!

I know this is Random but it's really bugging me!

*it's not Helena Bothem Carter!

I also heard the radio dj announce birthdays of the famous today but the only one I remember him saying was Kerry Katona and I’m sure you’re not talking about her 😂 I’ll have to wrack my brains for the other names he said.

Evan Rachel Wood?

If it was BBC you could probably go back and listen to the show again if you pinpoint the time you’d have been listening?

or Google doubled barreled actresses with a birthday today 😂

Carrie Hope Fletcher. She has been in stage versions of Les Mis and Heathers.

It's not her birthday though, it's in October.

Yes!!! Thank you it was driving me mad!

I thought I had seen her in something but it turns out I've only heard of her due to her brother being in McFly.

What a let down 🙈

Maybe not but if you’re looking for an actress with 3 names who has been in Heathers and Les Mis, she is the only one, so it’s likely the OP misremembered the birthday bit rather than everything else 🙄

Yes, obviously.

My fingers are taped together due to an assault in work and I've been awake for over 32 hours. I'm taking the fact you obviously know who I mean as a win. Smile
