What's worth more than Tuppence?


"Tuppence" means "two pence" (two pennies), which isn't a lot, but when that Tuppence is the name of Tuppence Middleton, it means a lot more.

Tuppence Middleton (no relation to Kate) is a British actress, perhaps most remembered (at least by me) for an unforgettable bath scene in the otherwise mostly forgettable Jupiter Ascending.  OK, I liked it, not just because of the lovely backside of Miss Middleton, but it was escapist fun and fair space opera fantasy.  Popcorn enjoyment with little deep meaning.

But back to Tuppence.  She is in the movie version of Downton Abbey, due in theaters in 10 days, and that might lure me theaterward.

Here's the article that got me thinking about Tuppence.  Not real fond of the severe hairstyle, though.

And here's the scene that keeps me thinking about Tuppence.












But let's give her loverly face a chance, too.
