Guess what? I discovered an actress that lots of younger citizens are familiar with: Karen Gillan! I was watching a couple of YouTube videos that served essentially to familiarize viewers with this actress—who's about my age, it so happens—and I was really taken with her! She's Scottish, but she says she can talk American pretty well.
She comes across as painfully unspoilt, and all through the shows I watched, she kept giggling! Oh gosh, she is cute. And she has dimples! And she's tall. And she talks fast; too fast for me to follow sometimes. She reminds me so much of Brit girls I used to know, and I miss them horribly.
She's was recently in one of those Guardians of the Galaxy movies, as a sort of junior villain. Her first breakthrough role was as Amy Pond, in Doctor Who. I wish I had more patience with those shows, and their low-budget effects; they were intended to be campy, but I had been too young to 'get' them. BTW, there was also a video with Rowan Atkinson ('Mr. Bean') as Doctor Who, which was very, very funny! Also, Blackadder.
I don't want to include Karen G in my list of beautiful women just because it isn't her looks that grab me, but her humor, and her seamless craziness, and unassuming manner. In her earlier interviews, she really seemed to almost squirm, but now she breezes through them like a pro, spewing those rapid-fire offhand remarks that are so funny.
Some of her photographs show her looking weird. Inclung the one I've put up; they look as though she's under a curse, or something; as if she's waiting for the haggis to hit the fan! (Karen, if you're reading this, it wasn't intended in a bad way.)
