Who was this actress??

[BlueWhippetsForever]

Help! I saw an actress in a hot chocolate cafe today and I cannot for the life of me place her. It was lunchtime today and I've been trying to work out what I recognise her from with no luck 😣

Please help me!

I think I recognise her from TV, she's British, late 40s/50ish (disclaimer I'm rubbish at guessing ages!). Brunette with a fringe, big eyes, beautiful. I want to say she's been in a legal/medical/detective type programme. Serious not comedy. Don't think period dramas.

Argh. I know that's spectacularly vague but if anyone instantly knows who I mean pleeeaaaase put me out of my misery 😆

Thank you!

Gillian Kearney?

Or Eva pope?

Polly Walker
Anna Friel
Amanda Mealing

Claire Bloom

Have you checked pictures of the actresses in different roles? Some of them look very different according to the part they're playing. I'm thinking in particular of Keeley Hawes, who lives somewhere around SW London.

Simone Lahbib?

Think Helen baxendale was the one in cold feet.
After eve myles I'd guess the Dr who companion can't think of her name though lmao she was with tenant and Smith had the phrase run dr run

Jaime Murray
Liz May Brice

@OohOohOohOohOoooh Those time periods would fit. Please have a brain wave!

Did you hear her speak at all?

If so, could you pinpoint a type of accent she had?

Charlotte Riley? Great actress, married to Tom Hardy.

The Beckhams were looking into Ibsock Place? Oooh lah-di-dah!

Here’s Kim Cattrall before she went blonde:

Annabel Scholey

Anna Richardson?

Gina McKee?

Emma Keane

@OohOohOohOohOoooh O

I really hope it's the same actress I'm thinking of and somebody can put us both out of our misery. If not, I'll have to start my own thread and nobody wants that 😂
I think she was in a mini series around the time of Cold Feet and This Life but I think I've seen her more recently as a lawyer possibly in a Netflix series.
I have a feeling she might have been in an episode of Hustle as well.

Orla Brady? I think she fits your description - she was a lawyer in Mistresss and was in Hustle

That’s who I was just about to suggest too.

Jill halfpenny

@OohOohOohOohOoooh

or Frances Barber? also in Hustle and was a lawyer in that BBC drama Silk.

Lolita Chakrabati?

Haven’t read the full 11 pages so apologies if this has already been suggested but Anna Friel?

Emma Keane pic - but orla Brady a good shout.
