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!

Lolita Chakrabati?

She is due to appear in a play at Richmond Theatre in the New Year (Summer 1954).

On the other hand, I wouldn’t have picked Kim Cattrall as her lookalike.

Claire Forlani

Hayley Atwell - probably too young
Indira Varma
Jenny Agutter

Jenny Agutter is 71 😂

It’s definitely not Annabel Scholey or Emilia Fox op? They both give KC vibes.

Strawberrysaucee · 15/12/2024 21:05

Has anyone said Emily Mortimer? Sorry if so!

jellybee · 15/12/2024 21:05

Jennifer Ehle?

greengreyblue · 15/12/2024 21:05

Younger KC when brunette looks like Annabel Scholey to me.

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

I'm really trying! The only slight problem is I don't picture her with a fringe so possibly a different actress 😂

RedPanda901 · 15/12/2024 21:06

Rebecca Ferguson
Katherine Kelly

Ah. Yes. Kind of forgot that detail Blush

@Isatis
True, but I can see her very clearly and I know I will definitely recognise her when I see her picture however she's styled etc

Rachael Stirling?

I was going to say Rachel Stirling!

Don't think she's quite as beautiful as her mum in her heyday though.

@HolyPeaches
Unfortunately not, I was stood behind her and it was busy
