For those who get Game TV: Who is the blonde in the fur coat who turns to face the camera in the “Every Night Is Movie Night” commercial? (I think it’s sable fur.)

This is driving me nuts, since I recognize just about everyone else!

You think there might be more than one commercial cuz I don’t see anyone wearing a fur coat in [this one.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5smF5Yn3faQ)

I found that ad, as well as this one. No fur coat in it, alas. And, I can’t find a video on GameTV’s YouTube page which has one. Maybe it’s a new ad?

(Edit: it appears that GameTV is a Canadian cable or satellite channel; I’m not sure how available it is in the U.S.)

Nope, she’s not in this one. So there are others than the one I just saw.

I think she’s at the 07 second mark in this one, though in the commercial I just saw there’s a full shot of her face and you can see the collar of her fur coat. Otherwise, I believe the two promos are identical.

Looks like Alicia Silverstone to me.

I think she looks more like Drew Barrymore in that shot. Hard to tell, really.

That’s Drew Barrymore.

I was going to guess Drew Barrymore or Kirsten Dunst, based on that close-in shot.

Drew Barrymore? My best guess at the sequence is Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Drew Barrymore, and then Andie MacDowell.

Andie MacDowell I would recognize for sure. The shot is so different from the one I saw earlier I’m now wondering if it was indeed part of another promo.

I think that @Mundane_Super_Hero was identifying the three actresses in the sequence of clips, including the clip on either side of the close-up of the blonde actress (who may be Barrymore).

Right, got it. I thought the first one was a young Jane Fonda, but after looking at her she’s probably someone else?

I just saw another version of the promo where the blonde in the fur coat is closer to the end (about two thirds of the way through). Still don’t know who she is, though.

However, I think we can all agree that the woman at the 07 second mark above is Drew Barrymore.

Do you have a smartphone? Is it possible for you to pause or rewind your TV signal the next time that ad comes on, and take a picture of the frame with that actress in it? If so, you could share it here, and we can make better guesses.

Looks like Julianne Moore to me.

No, I don’t have either opportunity. My daughter might; I’ll ask her.

Julianna Moore is a good possibility!

Looking through photos of other popular actresses, I found this one. It’s obviously not from a movie, but it _is_ very close to the face in the promo.

Recognize her? She’s a young Sharon Stone.

Can you think of another actress who resembles her?

There’s a little bit of Scarlett Johansson in there.  
Edit: or maybe Amber Heard
