Has she even _been_ in any other movies? I’ve only ever seen her in _AbFab_.

I just did an IMDB search\* on Julia Sawalha (correct spelling). She has been in a couple of films that were not made for TV or released straight to video, but nothing that I recognized as being released in the USA (although I could be wrong). I think we’ll need a Brit or **Astorian** or **Jabba** to pull us out of this one. The good news is that the few possible selections actually had other people who we would know in them.  
\*I’ve never seen an episode of Absolutely Fabulous and had no idea who this was.
