11. Barbara Worth 12. Faye Dunaway 14. Angelina Jolie 18. Julie Andrews 19. Jamie Lee Curtis 25. Scott Biao 11 sorry, incorrect......but you have named the character played so 0.5 bonus. 12 correct, 1pt, plus bonus point for the late Michael Winner who directed the film. The actor Mark Burns appeared in The Wicked Lady as King Charles II, but during the filming, director Michael Winner could not afford to pay him even the Equity union minimum fee. Burns told him to make a donation to the Police Memorial Trust, run by Winner. Years later, when Burns appeared at a magistrates court on a charge of speeding, Winner told the bench that the actor had given "his entire fee" for a major film to the fund, and Burns was subsequently discharged.14 correct, 1pt 18 correct, 1pt 19 correct, 1pt 25 correct, 1pt Leaderboard: 1 NeilH 8pts 2 DuncanDisorderly 6.5pts |

24. Michael Keaton. (I thought he was quite good in Tim Burton's Batman.)
26. Dwayne Johnson. (He was known as 'The Rock' in wrestling circles. Had he been an actor first he would probably be known as 'The Plank' ;D)

15 Natash kinski, one of my favs. Roman did have quite an eye for a pretty young lady! Think it was filmed in France rather than Dorset, something to do with the fear of extradition.

15 Natash kinski, one of my favs. Ok, I did say this: a further 1.5 points are available (eg for first name, character's surname, book) So you get a generous 0.5pt for Natassja. And a further generous 0.5pt as you were obviously appreciated of the scene when (baddie) Alec hand-feeds her strawberries.........very sensual. :-* Still half-points on offer for reference to the novel and the character's surname. ;) Leaderboard: 1 Dunplaying 10.5pts 2 NeilH 10pts 3 Daveuk1 7pts 4 DuncanDisorderly 6.5pts 5= DaveJones 1pt 5= SpecialOne 1pt |

15 You could argue that it was D'urberville, but the real answer is Darbyfield I think. Tess of the d'urbevilles by Thomas Hardy. Tess directed by Roman Polanski.

Tess of the d'Urbervilles is a fabulous book and I found it fun to research the Dorset locations... Tess's 'birthplace' in Marnhull, the 'valley of the great dairies' (between the rivers Frome and Piddle), the mansion where she spent her ill-fated honeymoon (at Wool) and the church with a tall tower where her ancestors lay buried in the vaults (Bere Regis): Tommo's an absolute Hardy nut !
