[Elendil_s_Heir]

I suspect I will recognize her name after I see it, but for now I got nothin’.

[Prof.Pepperwinkle]

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.

[De_La_Rue]

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

[Elendil_s_Heir]

:: headsmack ::

Of course! Woulda coulda shoulda gotten her. Good one, PP.

[Dead_Cat]

I was thinking “Bond Girl” but didn’t know the name of the actress. GG.

[Elendil_s_Heir]

On to F…?

[Prof.Pepperwinkle]

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.

[Dead_Cat]

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).

[De_La_Rue]

Thanks, Prof.!

I am F.
