[edit] Estella?

Removed "Jean Simmons (b.1929), for example as Estella Havisham in David Lean’s 1947 adaptation of Charles DickensGreat Expectations" - if anything, Estella is the opposite of a gamine. She is much too sophisticated and cruel to qualify.

What about Jean Simmons per se? She is frequently cited as such. --IXIA 22:07, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Can you think of any movies where she is gamine-ish? If so, go for it. Clarityfiend 05:53, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

OK. Somebody seems to have reinstated what was there before, but I'll have a think and amend as necessary.

Have added ref to Angel Face (see, eg, the picture of her on her Wikipedia entry)--IXIA 20:33, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

"Eponymous" is a nice word, but isn't it used the wrong way in this article? Doesn't it sound like the movie named the girl (Amelie), and not the other way around? Or am I wrong? Benjaminmyklebust 01:13, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

You are probably right. Though it does sound nice. Will alter! IXIA 18:26, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
