Ten years ago, I used my first post-college paycheck to meet an astrologer. Guided by a rickety stairway, I entered her Alphabet City apartment-turned-sanctum and was greeted by an eccentric Aquarius donning avant-garde garb (she had moved to New York in the 1980s and appeared to still be living in that era). A bathtub in the living room set the scene for a mystical encounter. However, the enchantment quickly dissipated as the reading commenced and I was handed a 33-page printout, which the astrologer read aloud. I had grown up in a household where astrology was a fervent topic of discussion, and I knew most of my planetary placements by heart.

The trailer for Sacha Baron Cohen's long-awaited sequel Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan was released by Amazon this morning, and the biggest question it leaves is: Who's that playing Borat's daughter? The trailer has no credits, and there's no Internet Movie Database page for the film, but Amazon's press release says that the movie, to be released on Oct. 23 on Amazon Prime Video, is "starring Sacha Baron Cohen & Irina Nowak," which would seem to be that. The internet is surprisingly little help on this point. There's no Irina Nowak on IMDb, and the closest search return is an actress named Irina Novak, who's 39--far too old, assuming there's no Irishman-type de-aging budget involved. Baron Cohen used relative unknowns as his castmates in the first Borat, including character actor Ken Davitian as Azamat Bagatov and comedian Luenell Campbell as the sex worker whom Borat eventually marries, but even the latter had a previous bit part in Nash Bridges on her CV.
