Star spotting

mandragoraYou see a lot of 'celebrities' round London, but not often travelling by tube.
Jonathan Ross has just had the actress Alicia Witt on his Saturday morning R2 show, which reminded me that I saw her on the tube a few days ago. I didn't recognise her at first, but noticed her and her boyfriend as being a rather good-looking couple.
They were clearly not British (actually a lot of people on the tube aren't British...*g*) and I guessed American. Was gratified when I was able to hear them speak when we reached the next station that my guess was right. Then I thought to myself that they both looked vaguely familiar...
I couldn't remember her name, just that she'd played the daughter in Cybill, and it wasn't until I heard the same voice on the radio this morning that I twigged who she is. She's doing a play in the West End at present, hence presumably why she's travelling like a native, rather than swanning around in a limo. I like that in a person ;)
Anyway, for the record sans movie-star make-up and hair etc she is very pretty, but not gobsmackingly beautiful. Ditto the boyfriend, who also looks vaguely familiar - like a young American TV star, but I don't know which one. Good looking bloke, definitely someone you'd notice but not someone you'd stop in the street to stare at.
