Ladies Heroine Fancy Dress Ideas…
Settle down – all might not be as it seems! Today we celebrate a couple of actresses who

have had their big breaks in films involving fantasy situations. Kim Cattrall (born 1956) is now best known for her role in ‘Sex and the City’ (although she has recently done stage-work in the UK, including playing Cleopatra). One of her first roles was as an Egyptian princess cursed to become a shop mannequin until she found true love and could come to life. The 1987 film ‘Mannequin’ isn’t that memorable (although Jefferson Starship’s ‘Nothing’s Going To Stop Us Now’, featured in the film’s credits, has stood the test of time) but the fantasy of inanimate objects coming to life, crops up regularly from ventriloquist dummies, to toy dolls such as Chucky, or the toys in Toy Story.
In a different field of fantasy, Carrie-Ann Moss (born 1967) is a Canadian actress seen in Christopher Nolan’s ‘back-to-front’ film ‘Memento’. She is possibly best known for her role as Trinity in the Matrix film trilogy. As most of you may know, ‘The Matrix’ of the film was an elaborate computer constructed reality from which one could only be ‘unplugged’ with difficulty and no little trauma (a similar effect can be observed with those losing a mobile, smartphone or ipod/pad).
