I am not Christina Applegate. > Take 2 DQs. Correct. Andrea (no surname given in the book; Stavros in the movie) was played by Anthony Quinn in _The Guns of Navarone_. I don’t watch TV, and I seldom watch movies\*, so I suspect this is going to be someone I’ve never heard of. As far as I’m concerned you can just do the reveal now and go on to the next round… - That I recall, I went to two movies last year (_The Man from UNCLE_ and _The Martian_), and I’ve watched one on Youtube this year (_Roman Holiday_). I do plan to go see _Moana_, though. ---

Okay. I am Jaimie Alexander, star of the hit series _Blindspot_, who also played Lady Sif in the two _Thor_ movies and on a couple of episodes of _Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD_. Link to Wiki: [Jaimie Alexander - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaimie_Alexander) If neither of you have heard of her, the next round goes back to SCAdian. ---

I’ve never seen any of the movies she was in, so I think I can safely say that I actually have never heard of her (as opposed to having heard the name but not thinking it important enough to remember). ---

I vaguely knew of her, but couldn’t name her. I see **Prof. P.** also just mentioned her in the Five-Word Movie Review thread! ---

Does “I vaguely knew of her” indicate I should proceed with the next round, or should it revert to SCAdian’s hosting? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/botticelli-october-2016/767528.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/botticelli-october-2016/767528.md?page=4)
