Goldstein was equally impressive as Marianne. The role required her to shift between being a naïve schoolgirl and a jailbaiting temptress, and she did so seamlessly. She even demonstrated formidable hip-hop chops during the musical’s zany rap interludes. Goldstein’s saccharine sweet voice was oddly matched to the Lil’ Kim worthy lyrics she was required to recite, but “Maude...
...DIED. NADIRA, 74, one of only a handful of Jewish actresses in Bollywood; in Bombay. Born Florence Ezekiel to a Jewish family in Bombay, Nadira made a name for herself in the 1950s playing vamps and villains-in particular as a temptress wooing Raj Kapoor in 1955's Shree 420-in an era when most actresses shied away from such parts.

It's a tribute to Rowling's dramatic instincts that this actually sounds pretty cool in context...
Levitt, along with Roland G. Fryer, an economist at Harvard’s Society of Fellows, examined large data sets to find that a baby’s name has less of an influence on his life prospects than earlier studies suggested. Sure, Temptress turned out to be a bit of a tramp, but Loser Williams grew up to be far more successful than his older brother Winner...
