Well she popped to mind this month.

In ER. |
As you might remember, Alex was Lady Macbeth that we saw with Kenneth Branagh. She was amazing.

With Karen Gillian (who played her mother - don't ask), Matt Smith - the goofy Doctor and a Stunning Alex |
But I suppose I was really reminded how great she was in Dr. Who watching the latest Dr. Who. They have made the Doctor regenerate as an old guy - which is, you know, whatever. Btu there is a new actress obsessed with him and it makes me realize how magnificent Alex was. It isn't easy playing the science fiction love interest and bringing emotion to it.
.
She is 51 and lives in California now with here 13 year old daughter.
.
One thing I didn't know, she was married to Ralph Fiennes for about 4 years (1993 - 1997). She was married again in 1998 to Florian Haertel - although separated now (per Wikipedia).
.
Anyway, she impresses and inspires me. So here is to Lady Alex. You rock.
