Help! What actress does THIS actress look like? Solved! Kathleen Quinland

I know she'd be too young, but when I first saw the picture I thought it was Emma Watson (of Harry Potter fame)
 
You guys are awesome, and have posted just about every possibility. I don't think any are who I am thinking of, unless it is Annabella Sciorra or Talia Shire and I just didn't know it. I looked up video of both to see if their voices/mannerisms matched what I am thinking and they were not a match but they are the closest so far. So hard since actors can morph into their characters. My head hurts from all this.
 
Gabrielle Anwar?!

It could also be that the actress you are thinking of was a smaller, recurring regular or supporting cast member on a show and not one of the major stars. Or a movie you've watched over and over and know all the characters, even the smaller ones. That could be why you can picture her, but so far, none of the famous actresses we've named rings a bell.

For instance, I loosely watch Castle, but I have no clue what the names of the actors or even the character names are of the two other detectives who work with Beckett, (the lead actress.) If I see them on something else, it would take me quite a bit of time to figure out where I recognize them from.

I've also watched every single episode of Criminal Minds several times. I often see the serial killers & victims on other shows, yet it takes me a while to place where I know them from. Usually I have to look the episode up on the IMDb.com website before I figure it out. :idea:

Now it's driving me crazy. She's dead ringer for the one I'm thinking of. I'm pretty sure she played in a scary movie of some kind but can't place which one.

How about Janine Turner from Northern Exposure?

neither one, but good line of thinking

The girl from freaks and geeks. Later she played Vilma in Scooby doo movies?
This is exactly who I was thinking of when I saw the pic. Linda Cardellini... She's currently on the Netflix show 'Bloodline.'

no, ...she's quite pretty tho

I think she looks like Mary Louise Parker

Now it's driving me crazy. She's dead ringer for the one I'm thinking of. I'm pretty sure she played in a scary movie of some kind but can't place which one.

Wait!!!!!!!!!! I'm not alone??????????? Oh thank heaven's! Sorry to have sucked you into the portal of madness, but yay! Somebody else see's it! Anything you can remember , please post!
 
A young Courteney Cox? She's been around since the 80's. This was from the Bruce Springsteen video, when she was "randomly" plucked out of the audience to dance with him. She was in three "Scream" movies.

I don't think she was ever an A list actress. I can only remember seeing her in the one movie..... now if I could just remember which movie it is I may just stop driving myself crazy lol
 
I *think* she is in her fifties...trying to remember when I would have seen whatever show it was. She would have been in her late 20's in the show? Maybe early 30'S? Who know's , she could have been 20-ish but did look more the age of Beckett on Castle if that helps? All I know is after ALL this help from you guys, if/when it gets figured out, you guys see her as a doppleganger too!

Still no to the suggestions..I wish I could remember more, I really do..it's like the commercial brought it to the surface, but just not close enough


Late 20's on the late 90's would only make her in her 40's now, not 50's.
 
I didn't read all 7 pages LOL but did someone already mention Elizabeth Pena?
