(Never could get the hang of inserting pictures, it always went wrong, and I’m meant to be an IT expert.) D’Oh.

Railings is devious. Thanks.

Maria Schneider was in “Last TANGO(21down) In Paris”;
Rita Moreno actd as Tuptim in the film version of THE KING AND I(12down) with Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr;
Emmeline Pankhurst was a leader of the Suffragettes who were inclined to chain themselves to RAILINGs(18down);
Bai Ling is a Chinese actress who acted as Tuptim in another film version, Anna And The King with Chow Yun Fat and Jodie Foster.

Well, it looks a bit like Rita Moreno and Emmeline Pankhurst, but I’m still stumped. I’m not even sure what I’m meant to be looking for.

Hi flashling, if your question is not 25A-al, I’d suggest the answer is practice, practice, practice.
Hi Ian SW3. It’s indeed Maria Schneider, which should give you the link to the crossword. The second is an award-winning American actress of Hispanic descent, the third was an English activist, and the fourth is a Chinese actress who had a common film role as the second.

Experience suggests tThere may well be no other entries after this one, and I’m flummoxed by the photos. Perhaps you could offer a hint. The black and white ones look a bit like Maria Schneider, Audrey Hepburn and Margaret Dumont but are not. No idea about the other one.

Don’t know quite why but I struggled with this one. The Imperial system is/was bizarre and the US version being different in places with the same names makes for a minefield.

On a slightly tangetial note – why do gamblers who have no apparent ability numerically have an uncanny gift with bookmakers odds at what they have/could/should have won if some nag performs or not?
