Actimel actresses

[gilipollas]

There were two actresses, playing parts of mother and daughter in Actimel tv ads in 2005, that really looked as if they could be that in real life. Sadly, they have been replaced in the more recent ads with muss less attractive ladies - who were the originals?

gilipollas, it occurs to me that you are referring to the 2005 Danone Bio Activia ad "Visit with Mum" (Actimel is also made by Danone) which had a sort ot twin ad with a friend visiting a friend (rather than Mum visiting daughter) called Bloated of which there are 2 versions (both available at visit4info as well as the others).
I wish you luck finding the ID's of the two women because I tried for ages to ID the dolly friend BEING visited in Bloated and got nowhere with ad agency/company/the web/ sites like this etc and had given up hope when, quite by accident,
I saw her picture at a modelling/actress agency website. She turned out to be Joanne Heywood, an actress with a decent CV at IMDB. What I can tell you is that the actress who played the mother in "Visit with Mum" was in a Calgon ad a few months ago but....Calgon never replied when I contacted them....
What we really need at this site is a member who has a friend who could ID these people for us because the agencies/companies often invoke "confidentiality" and refuse to divulge info!
Good luck!
