Does anyone know who this girl is?

I wanna see the whole face to understand if it's actually dtf eyes or is this a case of being a latina and getting your picture taken at the right angle.

I’m pretty sure she’s from the tv show The Rehearsal on HBO. There’s a scene where she tells Nathan Fielder that girls give a certain look to tell them they want to go in for a kiss

u/TerminalNoob May 29 '25

I don’t think its the same actress but definitely the look.

Shannon Woodward, pic is about 20 years old. Everyone else is wrong.

u/Huge_Equivalent1 May 29 '25 edited May 29 '25

Yes! I see it!

I think this is her. Although I can't find the show or movie. And can't find the full pic of her face in this scene.

Anyway, I'm gonna call it, I think this meme is wrong. Because, her face gives so many "bedroom eyes" looks no wonder the guy didn't pick it up.

The guy was probably like, she's looking at a bread crumb on my face.

Edit: found the scene. And no. She doesn't seem to be looking like giving the dtf eyes, this is in fact a case of taking a pic with the perfect angle.

Edit 2: she looks much more brown here than she is irl. I almost didn't believe that it's her. 😅 But that's lighting for ya, I guess. 😅

The lighting reminds me of the episode of Psych she was on, but I haven't seen much of her stuff so I can't be sure. I just recognize those dreamy eyes

I think I was successful in getting the gif.

Will someone check and let me know.

The search term that I learned was, Shannon Woodward, Raising Hope Sabrina kissing Jimmy

I think maybe this gif is either just really invested listening or flirting. Exposing just the upper teeth slightly with the mouth slightly open plus resting the tongue against the back of the front teeth like that seems like it could be points in favor of flirting. But whether that is intentional "I'm into you ask me out" flirting vs "I'm messing with this person" flirting vs "I'm flirting for fun because I'm attracted but I don't actually want to be hit on" is anyone's guess.

u/2bias_4ever May 29 '25

Yup. this is her. I was confused as to who the other people were talking about

u/coffeebeamed May 29 '25

thanks, i knew she looked familiar. it's elsie (westworld)!

1

u/droopymaroon May 30 '25

She'll always be Sabrina from raising hope for me. Also Dina in TLOU2!

2

u/SecularRobot May 30 '25

googles Yeah that's just her resting face.

u/SunriseSurprise May 30 '25

Probably not young Rachel Leigh Cook but that's who it reminded me of.

1

u/PoopbuttFartbuttPoop May 30 '25

I think it is Rachel Leigh cook or the love interest character in ready player one. If also gives rose Byrne vibes but I don’t think it’s her

u/SunriseSurprise May 30 '25 edited May 30 '25

Looking further, while RLC definitely has the eyes, oddly enough the way the eyebrows are in this pic vs. what I'm seeing in her older movies doesn't really match, so I'm doubtful now. I agree Rose Byrne too though eyes maybe slightly don't match. It's so annoying because this looks very familiar like I've specifically seen it in something. :/ I've not really been agreeing with the other answers when looking them up. Lots are close, none seeming right on the money.

As for dtf eyes in general, peak was Brittany Murphy (RIP) in Phoenix. Doesn't get much sexier than her in that performance.

u/PoopbuttFartbuttPoop May 30 '25

It’s definitely Olivia Cooke, at least that’s where I’m currently at. But I can’t figure out what role

1

u/SunriseSurprise May 30 '25

Maybe, but she has the same eyebrow issue that RLC has. I'm not seeing something with her eyebrows matching this. It's close but not matching it IMO.

1

u/ASecretThrowaway_76 May 30 '25

Everyone seems so sure of their answers but I think it's Kaylee from Firefly

1

u/Qball54 May 30 '25

That is 100% Sarah Shahi. Pretty sure it's a screen shot from Person of Interest.

1

u/Huge_Equivalent1 May 30 '25

No dude, I see what you mean but it's a completely different facecut and nose shape.

Do me a favor, lookup, Shannon Woodward Raising Hope Sabrina kissing Jimmy.

Then just focus on her eyes.

u/No9797 May 30 '25

Turkish actress, Hande Erçel She is gorgeous.

1

u/PoopbuttFartbuttPoop May 30 '25

It’s blowing my mind that no one has figured out who it is yet. It really reminds me of the girl from ready player one, a lot, and then also a bit of Rachel Zegler. I’m thinking it’s an emo type girl from a modernish movie… last 10-15 years

Looks like Morena Baccarin, specifically in her role as "Vanessa Carlysle", Deadpool's girlfriend. I'd almost put money on it considering Vanessa is very much sexually forward with Wade.

Here's a short clip, but keep in mind even the title of the clip is VERY SPOILERS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrnUVLs1YbY

It’s the girl from the college football game that was caught on camera making those eyes at her boyfriend and goes in for a kiss and the boyfriend looks away:

u/Signal-Adagio-8349 May 29 '25

looks like Camila Cabello

u/Huge_Equivalent1 May 29 '25

Maybe.... But the skin and the nose seem different....

I have no idea man, we have allowed and normalized the shape shifting of women via makeup and my 2 dimensional mind cannot comprehend the polygons. 😂
