Actually, I was just reading that a picture of Evelyn Nesbit was the picture that LM Montgomery had when she was writing Anne of Green Gables. She had no idea who the picture was -- she'd cut it out of a magazine at some point, and it seemed like the sort of look she wanted for Anne.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
how about a Russian Bride? Oddly enough, I googled "strong woman dark hair light eyes" and this is the first image that I got.

Here's another picture of Evelyn Nesbit, from when she was a little older, I think: [link]

t snerk on Richard Hatch...
Hmm. Nesbit, oddly enough, looks a bit too much like she could be a sister or cousin of my character's main love interest, especially through the eyes and nose, and I want them a contrasty couple rather than a matchy one. Hmm...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
You know when I was reading all those Evelyn Nesbit books growing up, I didn't realize she was a freakin' hottie.
In other exciting news, Emmett was one of 12 kids in his league named to the 11 y.o. All-Star team.

Hmm, I think my character might look a little like Hortense de Beauharnais, only not as sad and with a shorter nose and a firmer chin.
Which is kinda weird, because it's perfectly possible that Hortense herself might show up in this series eventually...

Hec, I think you're thinking of Edith Nesbit.

it's hard to find girls with dark hair and light eyes. Another dark haired brown-eyed beauty is Eve Myles.

Ooh, I've got her! She's Olivia de Havilland, but with light eyes! (I went paging through Best Actress nominee/winner wikipedia pages, and as soon as I saw a picture of her as someone other than Melanie Wilkes, I knew I'd found my character.)
Thanks, y'all--this helped, even though I ended up finding someone else, because it helped me clarify what I was looking for.
