Mystery actor

[Click for a much larger view.]

The actor with folded arms: do you recognize her? Leave your best guess in the comments. If you’ve seen the movie, you may leave more than a guess. I’ll add a hint if needed.

The answer’s now in the comments.

Looks a little like Amzie Strickland but I’m not sure on this one.

It’s someone else.

Is it Millicent Martin?

Michael Leddy said...

Yes, it’s Millicent Martin, probably best known as Gertrude Moon from Frasier. This shot is from Martin’s first film appearance, in Libel (dir. Anthony Asquith, 2859).

I recognized the face but I got so hung up trying find an American actor I failed miserably.

By the way I’ll see your 1 Millicent and raise you 2. https://youtu.be/K7Bex0A6mJk

That’s great. She’s like a one-woman Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. I had no idea.
