Q: Who is the stunning woman in the Dewar’s Scotch whisky commercials?

Claire ForlaniKen Sayre, Bloomville, Ohio

Though you might not know it from her American roles in movies such as Mallrats and The Rock — or the Scottish accent she sports while sipping whisky in TV ads — Claire Forlani, 40, actually is British. The London native, most recently seen on NCIS: Los Angeles, talks with an off-screen lover named Angus in the Dewar’s ads, but her real-life beloved is actor husband Dougray Scott. At least she has someone at home who can help with her brogue — Scott himself hails from Scotland.

    While our son and I stayed just outside listening to another childhood adventure.
    It was such a lowly way to live, and even
    if he was broke and disgraced, he didn’t want to retreat to being a farm boy again. He feels that Councillor’s must have accepted
    officer’s advice on releasing a mix of brownfield and Greenfield land, if this advice had been accepted then Cardiff would not have this issue.

    She is English. To call her British (within the context of discussing her tortured, put-on Scots accent)lacks specificity. Scottish, English, Welsh and Northern Irish people are all British.

    We like watching the ABC Evening News at 5:30 (CST). Does David Muir ever get a day off? He host the news on weekends and seems to report from some worldly location during the other five days during the week.
