It was first publicly pointed out apart from just reading the film ' s closing credits ! that two different actressesmodels play the Mysterious Woman and MandyAmanda Curran by Nick James , the editor of Sight and Sound magazine , shortly after the film was released in 1999 different pubic hair . This was shortly followed by English model Abigale Good giving an interview to the British media for instance , check the interview in the then broadsheet The Independent in which she confirms that , as the film ' s credits already clearly reveal , she in fact played the Mysterious Woman at Somerton . This was then followed by what can only be described as reality following fiction , life simulating the film , reality as fiction , one of the film ' s central themes by Abigale receiving an angry phone call from Leon Vitali who not only plays Red Cloak and was Kubrick ' s casting assistant , but is also mentioned in the newspaper article read by Bill Harford berating her for giving the interview , claiming it was bad publicity Red Cloak again punishing the Mysterious Woman ! Lol . And she stopped giving interviews after that . The voiceaccent of the Mysterious Woman isn ' t that of Abigale Good , as her accent is recognizably English . The accent is more a typically MidAtlantic accent , a ' media ' accent , that is , AngloAmerican , or , indeed , AngloIrish ' Curran ' is an Irish surname while ' Amanda ' is an English first name , just as , in a peculiar but consistent with the film , reversal , ' Nuala ' is Irish and ' Windsor ' is English .
