Christina Hendricks has a lovely pair of eyes, and be a redhead, but sadly that's not enough to kick out the voice of God. Is it? I am a demon for the redheads
I've put it to a vote and Christina won 1-0.

Does it help or hinder knowing she's not a natural redhead?

Poor Ben Wishaw got milled 15-0 by Forest Whitaker. Ouch! Bradley Cooper & Robert De Niro unsurprisingly won easily and poor Christina Hendricks was always up against it having drawn the might of Morgan Freeman.
I'm afraid I fear a couple of landslides in this group too.

RE: FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever. - Wichita Lineman - 13-11-2021
Jack Lemmon took the last 4 votes on the bounce to pull clear of Whoopi Goldberg. Tom Hanks as expected had a virtual walkover v the unfortunately drawn Sean Maher and Felicity Jones takes a big scalp by 1 vote. Even tighter was Michael Sheens 'casting vote' win v Jessica Chastain. I like both so it was a tough call.
