Ma’am /mam/ noun
- term of respectful or polite address used for a woman.
- term of address for a ranking female officer in the police or armed forces.
- term utilized for a person of female gender that just saved your sorry butt from a horde of genetically mutated Nazi undead super soldiers.
Best known for her portrayal of Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones (2011 to present), Lena Headey has quite the action resume, including: 300 (2006), Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008-2009) and Dredd (2012).
Whereas last week's focus, Milla Jovovich, has to take out the bad buys through her own efforts, Lena Headey has this presence, this stare… piercing eyes not commonly known to human kind… that ensures she doesn't have to lift a finger. She can just look at an army of ten thousand men and they will be under her immediate control.
A woman to whom one would never utter the words "Sure babe." One would be compelled to always reverently state "Yes ma'am."
