You’d think that _somewhere_ on the Internet there’s a photo of one of these actresses in a sable coat! 😖 ---

I’d never seen that movie and Kristen’s chin always seemed so finely chiseled and much thinner in the movies I’ve seen her in. To be fair, I Almost said Kristen… but that chin just didn’t seem to match. That’s why I said Mary Elizabeth Winstead. ---

Here are a couple of pictures of Sharon Stone wearing furs in “Casino.” Do either of these resemble the look in that clip?

Unfortunately, no. My daughter’s coming over on Friday. I’ll turn on Game TV while she’s here. If anybody can identify the actress, she can. ---

More like this. The pose is similar too.

Nope, not her either. Don’t think it’s Deborah Foreman either. And I would recognize Cybil Shepard. The shot in the promo shows just the actress’s head and shoulders. ---

As someone who has lusted after Drew Barrymore roughly her entire life (I’m 2 years older than she is), I can state unequivocally that the eyes in .07 of that clip do, in fact, belong to Drew. ---

I finally got my daughter to look at a screenshot taken with my new mobile. She identified her immediately as Amy Adams. > **[Amy Adams](https://batman.fandom.com/wiki/Amy_Adams)** > > Amy Lou Adams is an American actress and singer. She portrayed Lois Lane in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League. IMDb Wikipedia The B&W photo is not from the movie in the promo (probably _ **American Hustle** _), but is very, very close to the close-up on TV. ---
