Who was this actress??

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!

Emily Mortimer?

Might be too young Carey Mulligan.

I ws just thinking about that. 😂That thread went on FOREVER. Even after she'd been correctly indentified it rattled on for days with people still guessing.

Connie Beauchamp?

I can't keep up with all the suggestions but thank you I really appreciate them, who knew there were so many fabulous actresses!

I've been googling them all and no luck so far 😥

Suranne Jones?

YesIReallyDidOK · 15/12/2024 19:19

Also guessing Nicola Walker (but probably only because I'm watching Unforgiven at this very moment)

Tara Fitzgerald?

@BigPorker
I promise I'm real. We went to London for the weekend (not many celebrities in my city!) and had an afternoon in Richmond before we came home. My DC are too young to have a clue so were no help at all 😅

Ha! I was going to say that too Grin

Eve Myles? Although every time I see her, her hairs a different colour.

BlueWhippetsForever · 15/12/2024 19:23

She looks a little bit like a brunette Kim Cattrall except bigger eyes and English. I think she usually play serious professional sort of characters not comedy

Could you just phone up the cafe and ask if they knew who she was?

Tutorpuzzle · 15/12/2024 19:24

Cherie Lunghi? (I saw her once in Richmond.)

Also…there’s a hot chocolate cafe in Richmond? Is it good?!

No sorry. The right kind of piercing eyes

Nicola Walker? She has very piercing eyes.

Especiallyforme · 15/12/2024 19:25

Keira Knightley

BlueWhippetsForever · 15/12/2024 19:26

@IceCreamMundae Ha, I feel that would push me into weird stalker territory (whereas posting on an Internet forum is absolutely normal 😄). Also, the women behind the counter were very young and seemed busy and un-starstruck !

Never mind the actress, lovely though she probably is, I need to hear more about the hot chocolate café Grin

If it was in chat it might have dropped off after 90 days.

Seriously though OP, was it Pooky fucking Quesnel? She gets around.
