I've never heard of this movie and apparently it's pretty old :o. I don't know the actress either but she has a distinct and unique face, so it's great that my art reminds you of her :D.
I've rarely seen salamander in real but in pictures some of them are really attractive and exotique, dragon like even. I think that's pretty cool ^_^.
I see the plain grey ones around here, but the cool colored ones are all at the pet shop. Some of them are dragon like.. beautiful for a snake with legs.. :-O
