Given the lack of activity, I’m calling it now. Drat. With that last DQ, I thought you had her. I am Eva Green. She’s played the witch Angelique in Tim Burton’s _Dark Shadows_, _Miss Peregrine_ in Tim Burton;s _Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children_, Ava Lord in _Sim City: A Dame To Die For_, and Vanessa Ives in the Showtime series _Penny Dreadful._ Oh, and Vesper Lynne in _Casino Royale_, so, yeah, a Bond girl. She had her screen debut as Isabelle in Bernardo Bertolucci’s _Dreamers_, which I mainly mention since Bertolucci just passed away. ---

Dang–I suspected it was Eva Green (thus the last DQ) and was going to guess her, but only just signed in now. ---

On to F! However, De la Rue, I’m going to take you at your word. Since I closed the game early, and since you did guess that last DQ, I do believe you should take the next round. ---

A most excellent and sporting move, PP, with which I am happy to concur (not that you were obliged to do so, of course - and you were extremely generous with your DQ answers). ---
