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.

Member
Alison

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.

Member
GillP

I have had the same problem, but today’s came straight away. Brilliant actress.

Member

Can’t forget this face of a million meme’s on facebook

Member

yesterdays was not Kathleen Turner 🙂 still a point ::)

Member

I missed a day again. I have no idea how.

Member
Stuart

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

Member
DivitLad

It was my birthday , that’s my reason for forgetting 🙂

Member
Hilde

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.

Member
DivitLad

I belive it was showing same as the day before foor a while

Member
Sara

Gremlins at work again! I’ve put the same answer. I hope that’s ok?

Member
Jackie

I will hope to remember to come back later, as I was not that sure about yesterday’s.

Member
Julie

Yeah me too

Member
Stuart

I’ve put yesterdays answer again.

If people are unsure who it is…….. it’s not the Cookie Monster, I hope that helps 😁🤣😉

Member
tracy

I got today’s the 16th straight away, as I have seen her in many films and think she is brilliant.

Member
tracy

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.

Member
Andrew

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!

Member
Paul

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.

Member
tracy

I cannot remember either lol,

Member
GillP

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.

Member
Wendy

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.

Member
Hilde

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.

Member
tracy

I have seen her in films but didn’t recognise the face in the photo.

Member
Sally

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 🤣

Member
DivitLad

i had to use bing for it to come up with the face

Member
tracy

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.

Member
Alison

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. 🤞

Member
Sally

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)!

Member
Andrew

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.

Member
Jackie

Phew, lucky guess for yesterday! I haven’t watched films for years…

Member
Marie

I guessed wrong😞, at least I still get an enrty 😀

Member
Jackie

I guessed wrong, too; as I suggested before, this month is going to be a challenge! 😀

Member
Aileen

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!

Member
Dawn

Of course! The first Black actress to win an Oscar for female lead…Amanda Holden. 🤭😂

Member
Dawn

Didn’t downvote you btw, Aileen. Just found it funny. 😀

Member
Aileen

No offence taken, Dawn. I found your reply hilarious 🤣

Member
Jacky

Not really a Hollywood “actress” today?

Member
Shelley

They’ve been in 2 films.

Member
Stuart

She has been in a few things

Member
STEVEN

And a few things have been in her!

Member
Lynne

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. 🥳

Member
Alison

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! 👏🎉

Member
Alison

*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.

Member
tracy

I know what you mean, I am forever writing words with the letters in the wrong order.

Member
Alison

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!

Member
Justin
