You’re sure it’s not Susan Kellerman, right?

Ok, let me catch up here.  
**Welfie** correct on Clear & Present Danger, but it’s not Dafoe you’re looking for. Clash of the Titans and Olivier are both correct.  
**ShibbOleth** , no it’s defintely Sally Kellerman, although I did have to check to make sure. James Earl Jones is wrong, I’m afraid.

You can go ahead and guess both, but they’d both be wrong 🙂

Sorry, no. But if you’re looking on the IMDB, you’re reasonably close…

Nope. I’ll give you a clue - this part is somewhat of an example of **tdn** ’s ‘elegant’ answers.
