Colour really doesn’t help much. In a way it really hinders things.

At first I thought Mare Winningham because of the hair colour. But then I thought: what if it’s dyed?

So, I’m going to guess: Elizabeth McGovern.

Yes, it’s Elizabeth McGovern, in The Bedroom Window (dir. Curtis Hanson, 1987). Here’s what she looks like in this movie when she’s not in disguise.

The Bedroom Window is a Criterion Channel Staff Pick — a great homage to Hitchcock before it goes off the rails in its last twenty minutes.
