I posted the head shots in the image gallery for TIME AFTER TIME, and it appears the "other" actress has at least one role name—"waitress at bar counter"—in her filmography, but I can't make out the role from the head shots included for ALL THE WRONG SPIES. Surely, whoever posted that role name should be able to point her out in the extensive collection of SPIES cast images, or provide a new shot if she's not in there, and then we could cross-reference the TIME AFTER TIME shots to see if she turns up there.

If I recall correctly, there was only one other female role in TIME AFTER TIME beyond the two main actresses I've pictured, and I didn't post a shot because I had a really difficult time finding a sequence in which I could get a clear snapshot of her, so fleeting was her role. The two actresses who ARE pictured in the gallery for TIME are the only other females in the film, as I recall, and the missing girl is on screen for barely a few seconds, so obviously I'm in doubt about this merge, at least until I can post the missing actress.

Added image of the person ID'ed as Kwan Ka-Lai in All the Wrong Spies.

Thanks! I'll get out the TIME AFTER TIME disc tonight and add the "missing" actress to that film's listing (as well as any others I may have simply missed), then we'll see if there's a match.

Okay, here's three shots of the same woman from TIME AFTER TIME. It's a fairly crucial part, though short on dialogue.

and Bearserk's recent add from ALL THE WRONG SPIES:

I don't know. Could be her, but...? Any thoughts?

There is one other very small female role in the movie, played by this actress, who seems a bit young to have been playing a waitress in a film nearly 10 years prior, so I'm tempted to rule her out completely.

These two actresses, plus the two already in the DB photo gallery for TIME AFTER TIME, comprise all the major female roles in the film. There are some background extras who aren't on screen long enough to register, and since Kwan Ka-lai apparently gets a screen credit, I'd have to believe she's one of these two, but possibly not the one in ALL THE WRONG SPIES, etc., but if other folks think there's a match here, I could be persuaded....
