"Get away form her you *****!!"
Name that girl
- Thread starter C Body Bob
- Start date
Learning from Ms. Hargitay, there was a natural follow-on game that I'll just do now. Its NOT intended to be a new game!
As this one wraps up in a few hours, its pretty clear most of y'all seem to know our new "girl".
This follow-on could however still be a hint to someone still trying to connect our new girl to one of her most recognizable characters?
"They mostly come at night ... mostly"
She's 46 (dang) now.
Never acted again after her big supporting role in our girl's franchise at 10 years old, and grew up to be a teacher in real life. She still may (used to at least) do the occasional Comic-Con though with our girl and a few other franchise principals.
They whacked her character in the "tri-quel" anyway - will give her real name when this game ends tonight
I couldn't think of her name, but I did know who she was.
I'm back under the rock now for the next one.

I was able to find out who she was, know the character she played, but never knew her name.Learning from Ms. Hargitay, there was a natural follow-on game that I'll just do now. Its NOT intended to be a new game!

#1,472 Sigourney Weaver (birth name Susan Alexandra Weaver)
Alien franchise, Ghostbusters franchise, and Avatar 1 & apparently 2), she's been in big stuff as both astar and in supporting role(s).
I met her though as Ellen Ripley .. memorable kick-a** heroine very common now but NOT in 1979 when Alien came out. Liked her again in the sequel (best of all the Alien movies to me), not as much though in the next two in her run in that franchise.
Up at #1,482 is Carrie Henn, who played "Newt" in the second movie Aliens. Again, Ms.Henn never acted again after that cuz she just "didnt want to".
Pic below shows Carrie at Comic Con in 2016 for 30th annivesary of Aliens with the other major folks (Weaver, Cameron, et.al.,) in that movie (RIP "Private Hudson" - Bill Paxton)

Age 67 now. Athlete, born in Florida.
I did not/still do not follow her sport at all. However, because she had extensive media coverage her whole career and beyond, I knew who she was just by watching the sports/regular news.
Here in this country at least, she was sorta "America's sweetheart" and quickly became very well known outside her sport. The girls wanted to be her. The boys wanted to date her. Her successful/unsuccesful romances/marriages seemed to make news too.
Our girl was really good. She was/is one of the winningest athelete ever at her sport -- in the world. Her professional "rivalry" with a lady from Prague is right up there with the most followed inside and outside any sport -- in the world.
Now that they are both senior citiizens, and even before that, all is personally good with them. They are both great ambassadors for their sport and, as the "up and comers" approach/break their winning records, they come around to celebrate those other ladies' achievements.
Unless you are a true fan of her sport, and/or were a teenager in the 1970's, this one might be tough. Otherwise the pic (circa. 1970?) should do it easily and the clues would just be gravy.
She still looks the same to me and she seems to be taking great care of herself as she ages.
Answer tomorrow if nobody names her before then.

I wasn't born until 1975, but she was still on the tube at big events through the 80's.
Indeed she was .. but I was in college by then/into my professional career (had to learn golf -- thats what all our clients did) and not paying much attention even in passing to her sport.
TANGENT-- about 15years ago, during a visit, I played my daughters at our undergrad alma mater.
My kids were NOT anywhere near professional caliber and I was getting close to 50 yrs old but heck I played baseball (figured I was strong enough/mobile still enough to hang with my late teenage daughters).
My own daughters, who I changed diapers for and burped just a few days before it seemed -- lit my a** up like a Christmas tree. They were "grippin' & rippin" - I was "huffin" & puffin"
My point .. our girl's game has definitely amped up since she played last as a pro in 1989 at age 35. Dunno at her best if she could handle today's pros at their best though....debate for another thread

#1,486 Chris Evert
Professional tennnis player, with tons of accomplishements (source: International Tennis Hall of Fame).
Her Czech "nemesis" was Martina Navratilova, herself one of the best at the sport as well. Two, retired "ex-jocks" now that are best buds (maybe they always were "off-camera".. rivalry over-hyped back in the day to build up the sport??).
You can see below a sampling of the media hoopla over "Chrissie" through the 70's and 80's. Cover of this, article about that, etc., but she was winning everything in sight. Her hits/misses at romance made news.
Again I didn't/don't follow tennis. But as @LocuMob observed .. what is with all the @#$* "grunting" in womens' tennis by some players (Sharapova, another darling of the Maxim crowd, for one)?
They are strong and fast and hitting the ball harder than ever .. but with every serve/return? Maybe it (the squealing,grunting) makes for exciting, elevated play ..just annoying to me but tennis crowds seem into it. I don't get it ...
Chris looks pretty good at age 67 .. an ex-athlete that has not "let herself go" (look at side-by-side photo, her mid 20's compared to her mid-60's).

One more and I'll step aside for a bit.
Age 55 (dang) now.
Actor, mainly movies but TV as well, born in Mexico (though she identifies herself as "Lebanese-Mexican" via her parents' national origins).
Seems to "specialize" playing the sexy, beautiful, "curvilicious" lead/supporting character roles as her "brand" as an actor. She's definitely "equipped" for those roles .. lets just say .. and likely best known for her good looks versus her thespian chops.
Still she (many of the things she's been in) have have been commercially successful for many years across many kinds of thematic genres (dramatic, comedic, action, period pieces), been nominated for/won major industry awards, including some "firsts" for Mexican-born female actors.
She was widely recongized as being really good as an actor in a biographic period piece about a well-known Mexican-born surrealist artist.
Though I didnt know that particular artist's story, the movie did manage to get our girl "out of her shirt". Turns out the character's story arc was a key part of artist's life story from an early age until her death at a relatively early age, it also served to show off our girl's anatomy and build her brand.
I dont think I have been drawn to her acting gigs because she's a "great" acting talent .. but there is no denying (and "cheesecake" pics are out there to prove it) she can "adequately" fill out a dress or swimsuit .. even as she approaches 60. She still makes an impression.
Pic of her about 4 years old .. best I could find that didnt make it too easy. Doubtful you can get her from pic alone, so these clues should help as they are pretty specific to ONLY our girl (pic alone could lead you astray).
Answer tomorrow night of it somebody names her before that.
