Anyone for a round of "who the heck am I thinking of"

I'm trying to remember the name of an actress who always plays a kind of snobby/WASP type woman. She has long blonde very straight hair. Her nose is quite distinctive, very thin but it always makes me thinking of a botched nose job cause (I think) the nostrils are quite pinched. I think she's in light comedy films, like Four Weddings or Three Men. Never a lead actress and it's not Holland Taylor, Jennifer Coolidge, or Christine Baranski.

No, but when I looked her up, Google suggested Natasha Richardson who was the woman I was thinking of, particularly her character in Maid in Manhattan. Thank you (and very close @gillybombilly with her sister Joely).

I apologise if my description was rubbish. I think I'd make a terrible eyewitness.

Very sad life story as she died in an accident when her two boys were very young.
