  1. Wow.
    She scared the crap out of me as Morgana on Excalibur. She was so vulnerable in White Nights. She was hilarious as the assassin in RED and RED 2.
    Tiny crush.

  2. I saw her the other day in 2010, the Year We Made Contact, playing a Russian cosmonaut, which surprised me.
    Then I found out that her name is Ilyena Lydia Vasilievna Mironov, and she was the granddaughter of a prominent Russian military officer stationed at the embassy in London by the imperial government when the Russian Revolution broke out. Of course she speaks Russian.
