I beg your pardon, Miss Arden

Prompt / Form note ▶︎

A Clerihew is a comic verse made of two couplets and an aabb rhyming scheme. The 1st line usually names a person/character and the 2nd line ends with something that rhymes with the name of the person. No specific meter or syllable count are required.
As an aside, our heroine's workplace in Lines 1 & 2 are of the same type but in different locations, and Lines 2-4 point to one of her film roles. Do you know which one?
