Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but is within 2.5km.

On July 2, 1980 the movie Airplane! was released on an unsuspecting world, and screwball comedies haven’t been the same since. It had serious actors parodying the roles they were known for, every flight-related movie cliché they could think of, and completely changed Leslie Nielsen’s career. (Oddly enough, it didn’t have the same effect on the two leads: when was the last time you saw a movie featuring Robert Hays or Julie Hagerty?)

Although there was no shortage of cameo appearances or stars in feature roles, none of the women below appeared in the film. Nevertheless, I think any one of them would have been a good fit, for reasons that should become apparent as you solve the puzzle.

Your task is to identify the person, enter their last name into the blanks, and then transfer the last digit of the numeric equivalent of the letters (A(1)/K(11)/U(21) = 1, B(2)/L(12)/V(22) = 2, etc.) from the indicated spaces into the final coordinates. As a solving hint, moving the cursor over each woman's photo will reveal a hint as to her identity.

If you need a further hint, don’t call me . . .
