Her real name is Marissa Ribisi, and the movie is called "Some Girl." [And yes, I know it's a slow news week when there's not one, but two, Astrid sightings... the real intent of this post being, send me spoilers. Or fan fiction. I'll take anything]. **addendum to this post: JMS recently informed me that not only is Marissa is the twin sister of Giovanni Ribisi, but has a filmography as long as his (you know, the guy who played Phoebe's brother on Friends).
