The film director wants an actress for the lead role of

Solution

Lucy's Required Description: Hair: Redhead Age: Forty-something Eyes: Deep brown Skin: Very fair Build: Average-sized (not very tall or short, not slight or heavy) Only actresses matching all or almost all of these traits (with age, hair, and eye color being most critical) should be considered. Now, let’s go through each actress objectively again, focusing only on who matches and why. Actress 1 Red hair Mid-20s Brown eyes Olive complexion 5'9" and "stunning beauty" (too tall; not average-sized) Result:
Does not fit age, skin tone, or build → Reject   Actress 2 Red hair Mid-40s Big brown eyes Fair complexion 5'5" (average height) Result:
Perfect match for all key traits → Shortlist   Actress 3 Red hair Early 40s Brown eyes Medium build and 5'4" Skin tone not mentioned — neutral Result:
Nearly perfect match (assume fair skin unless otherwise stated) → Shortlist   Actress 4 Red hair Early 30s (too young) Blue eyes Very slight build, 5' (too small for “average-sized”) Result:
Wrong age, eye color, and build → Reject   Actress 5 Red hair Early 20s Black eyes No info on build or complexion Extremely talented – but not relevant here Result:
Wrong age and eye color → Reject Final Solution: Only Actress 2 and Actress 3 match the key physical features described in the screenplay. So, the correct two to shortlist are: Actress 2 and Actress 3
