In the previous round, I remembered the character, but not the actress’s name.

Previous IQ:

Are you a British actress who has played a princess, a spy, a kidnapping victim and a well-armed fairytale character? - Gemma Arterton, in _Prince of Persia, Quantum of Solace, The Disappearance of Alice Creed_ and _Hansel & Gretel_.

On to D!

IQs:

Was your creator thinking of bees when you were named?  
Are you a Biblical woman whose name is now used by a late-night radio host?  
Did Roy Marsden play you for many years?
