Someone I know is asking me if I can identify the actress and/or the movie from the picture linked below. Anyone want to give it a shot? [![](https://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a302/tschaber/Untitled-8.jpg) ](https://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a302/tschaber/Untitled-8.jpg) ---

Geena Davis, [Thelma and Louise](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelma_&_Louise) maybe? šŸ˜• ---

Christina Applegate? ---

Anyone considered that it may just be a photo that _reminds_ people of a movie scene, and not a real movie scene at all? ---

Could it be [Kate Hudson](http://imdb.com/name/nm0005028/)? Couldnā€™t tell you the movie, maybe ā€œRaising Helenā€. ---

Iā€™m guessing Mira Sorvino from Romy and Micheleā€™s High School Reunion. ---

Although staring at her, it does look like Kate Hudson. Plus, Iā€™ve never seen Romy and Micheleā€™s High School Reunion. ---

I donā€™t think sheā€™s anyone famous. Iā€™m pretty good with faces, and hers isnā€™t familiar at all. She _looks_ like all the people mentioned above, but thatā€™s as far as that goes. I even tried googling tschabe, from the URL, and got a lot of weird images, but none that go to [imdb.com](http://imdb.com). Iā€™m guessing just another model/aspiring actress. ---

Are you certain this is a picture of an actress in a movie scene? ---

She sort of looks like Rebecca Gayheart. But Iā€™m joining with those who think this might not be a movie still at all. ---

It may be a still from a movie for the 18+ crowdā€¦ ---

Reminiscent of Cameron Diaz or Heather Graham in a still from _License to Drive_, but is neither. Considering her clothes, this is more like a 1991 photo shoot for Seventeen magazine. Or a still from a present day porn. There is something sort of _Mulholland Drive-ish_ about it. ---

Thatā€™s a Photobucket album, so that part of the url is just the name of the person whose album it is and has nothing to do with the photo. I also donā€™t think itā€™s from a porno; the shoes are all wrong. šŸ˜ƒ ---

Based on the lighting and photographic style, I would say this is much more likely to be from television than a movie. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/help-identify-an-actress-movie/424403.md?page=2)
