Famke Janssen pairs red face mask with Grateful Dead bear-print dress for NYC stroll

Former Bond Girl Famke Janssen paired her CDC-recommended COVID-19 face mask with a $298 Alice + Olivia ‘Clyde Grateful Dead’ bear-print sleeveless shift dress to stroll in Manhattan on Tuesday.

The Dutch 55-year-old has never publicly discussed her love for the psychedelic sixties rock band, but she does have a soft spot for R&B legend Stevie Wonder.

‘I learned English in school, probably started at about age 12, 14 or something. But, at the time, this teacher decided that she was going to teach her 12-year-old students a Stevie Wonder song called…Village Ghetto Land,’ Famke told KCRW back in 2009.  

‘And it’s such a dark song. Especially for a 12-year-old, when English is your second language, you have no idea what you’re translating. And that album has always stuck by me, other than I think that Stevie Wonder is a genius and apparently he did everything on that album.

‘But it just always struck me, you know, later on in life, what an interesting teacher to pick that song to teach little kids how to speak English!’

Janssen also wore protective plastic gloves as she socially-distanced less than six-feet apart with a mystery friend toting a black shiny murse (male purse). 

New York City’s stay-at-home order was extended through May 15 due to the 144,190 confirmed coronavirus cases, which has led to 14,604 deaths as of Tuesday – according to Johns Hopkins University. 

The Columbia University grad has been single since divorcing writer and director Kip Williams, the son of architect Tod Williams, in 2000 after five years of marriage.

Audiences last saw Famke as New York detective Jacob Kanon’s (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) grieving wife Valerie in The Postcard Killings, which started streaming via VOD on March 13. 

However, Danis Tanović’s serial killer flick currently holds a dismal 28% critic approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

But it’s still unclear if Janssen’s lesbian defense attorney character Eve Rothlo will return for the 15-episode sixth (and final) season of legal thriller How to Get Away with Murder, which resumes April 30 on ABC.
