The one towards the end of the video for Peter Schilling’s epic song - seen blowing kisses to the Heavens as the world realizes Major Tom is not coming home. I thought she was known but can’t seem to find a name. Was it Nena? Dennis ---

Could you please tell us where in the video this is? Minutes and seconds. ---

The only woman I see in that video appears to be Sandra Bullock in clips from “Gravity”. I don’t think she’s waving at the heavens - her arms are flailing because things are starting to fall apart around her. ---

Are you talking about the lady at roughly 3:00 in [this video](https://youtu.be/8gq7KixN_ww)? Also, is he sitting in a Ford Galaxie? ---

Damn it, I linked to the wrong video in my original post! She is at a microphone and blowing kisses while Peter is half nude ironing clothes in the background. She appears at 2:56. I thought we had a discussion of this a few years ago but can’t find it. Dennis ---

Definitely not Nena, speaking as a Nena fan with an ongoing 40-year crush.
