I knew who today’s actor was without having to look it up, unlike some of the other actors, I had no idea about them, even though they are very well known.
We have a lot more face to look at today and I don’t think we have had a whole neck before. I have found a few quite challenging recently, I was also pleased that this is an easy one.
I have had the same problem, but today’s came straight away. Brilliant actress.
Can’t forget this face of a million meme’s on facebook
yesterdays was not Kathleen Turner 🙂 still a point ::)
I missed a day again. I have no idea how.
You didn’t there was an issue with it being stuck on the previous days picture.
I forgot to check back and put the previous days answer for yesterday 17th
It was my birthday , that’s my reason for forgetting 🙂
Strangely so have I. I’ve not seen the one from the 16th and I check every day at roughly the same time. It’s routine. If previous one was there I’d have noticed it.
I belive it was showing same as the day before foor a while
Gremlins at work again! I’ve put the same answer. I hope that’s ok?
I will hope to remember to come back later, as I was not that sure about yesterday’s.
Yeah me too
I’ve put yesterdays answer again.
If people are unsure who it is…….. it’s not the Cookie Monster, I hope that helps 😁🤣😉
I got today’s the 16th straight away, as I have seen her in many films and think she is brilliant.
I had no idea who it was yesterday, the 14th in the end I just took a guess, oh well at least I got 1 point for effort lol.
I can’t remember who I said it was, but it definitely wasn’t Jennifer Lawrence. I’ve only ever been to the cinema 3 times in my life though, so I’m going to use that as my excuse!
I know who she is, and that photo didn’t look anything like her. I’m not saying that it was a mistake and it was a photo of someone else because sometimes people can look completely different in certain photos.
I cannot remember either lol,
I had no idea who she was either which was not surprising as I googled her and have never seen any of the movies she has been in.
Same here, even google lens didnt work. Sorry I havent even heard of her. My answer was “no idea”. Im sure she is a good actress, but ive never seen any of them that she has stared in.
I had no idea either and I watch a lot of movies. Indeed Google Lens no help. I find that odd for someone who is famous that Google Lens has nothing. I gambled on Madonna knowing it was wrong anyways. Yes, Madonna has made movies too.
I have seen her in films but didn’t recognise the face in the photo.
I will admit, I tried to Google Lens today’s (9th) – but even that didn’t give ANY results, no matter what wayI cropped it?! So I’ve just had to guess after all…
Jackie said below she hadn’t seen films for years and I’m starting to realise neither have I – even the ones that I have guessed I’ve wanted to double check, coz they look so old compared to they way I remember them! Which then makes me feel even more ancient 🤣
i had to use bing for it to come up with the face
I think I spelt the name wrong by pressing the wrong key, I saw it just after I pressed submit. I put an N instead of an M.
So easy to do, I’ve done it too in the past. At least you get one entry, i don’t know if they are checked manually, but even a computer check can sometimes account for the odd letter being wrong. 🤞
I’m pretty sure Daniel was asked about this a few months ago, and he said he does actually check them all manually 👍 which I found very impressive (and reassuring lol)!
As long as it is clear who you meant, I don’t think spelling really matters unless it is one of the anagram or missing letters games.
Phew, lucky guess for yesterday! I haven’t watched films for years…
I guessed wrong😞, at least I still get an enrty 😀
I guessed wrong, too; as I suggested before, this month is going to be a challenge! 😀
My husband was adamant that it was Amanda Holden. I thought not but, when I looked at Google images of AH, there was a definite similarity!
Of course! The first Black actress to win an Oscar for female lead…Amanda Holden. 🤭😂
Didn’t downvote you btw, Aileen. Just found it funny. 😀
No offence taken, Dawn. I found your reply hilarious 🤣
Not really a Hollywood “actress” today?
They’ve been in 2 films.
She has been in a few things
And a few things have been in her!
Wow, nearly missed it. I don’t tend to check until late in the evening (or early in the morning, as it is now 1.55am). Thank you all, for the congrats. Also thanks to you Daniel. Good luck to all you lovely people for the coming months prize.
P.S. Bernie, it feels great. May only be a tenner but it’s a win nonetheless the less. 🥳
It just feels nice when to win, I won a chimney umbrella once (?) I don’t have a chimney, but it was nice to win. 😆
Congratulations! 👏🎉
*when ‘you’ win. Sorry, my dyslexia isn’t as debilitating as most peoples, but bad enough to make silly mistakes that I just don’t see when I’m writing.
I know what you mean, I am forever writing words with the letters in the wrong order.
Sometimes I read something that doesn’t make sense, so read it again and realise the word I read isn’t even there, but I can close my eyes and picture the page and still see the text I initially read. How can you still see a word that was never there!
I think I will do well on this month’s guessing game. Well done Lynne hope you claim your winnings in time. Good luck to all for April’s game.👍
Congratulations Lynne, how you claim in time. Good luck to everyone on this month’s competition

Congratulations to Lynne, hope she claims!
As for this month’s competition, I will need all the luck I can get, as I am hopeless with names!
