I was swept with my last IQs, since then I’ve been trying to come up with a name but drawing a blank - films are not my strong point, I probably couldn’t name 5 French actresses of any kind never mind one meeting the criteria. I think at this point we’ve narrowed it down far enough that additional DQs are unlikely to help - either you know it or you don’t. My only further contribution is to note the helpful comments on the DQ answers, in particular that if it surprising this person isn’t British, presumably they have a name that appears to be more English than French - but even that isn’t certain. Sorry I can’t be more help. ---
