I wish … Agnes Nutter from Good Omens played by Helena Bonham Carter. As the author of the only truthful book of prophecy called The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, witch (which she wrote in order to get the author’s free copy, the book was a commercial failure), she plays an important role in the background of Good Omens. Her descendants try to make sense of the prophecies; which though being completely accurate were frequently cryptic as she had no knowledge of modern technology; the last one in line being Anathema Device. She was burned at the stake for witchcraft, but didn’t seemed too upset about it (going so far as to berate the mob for being late), which somewhat mystified the townspeople until they all perished in a mysterious explosion that was seen from the next town over. This may be due to divine or infernal interference, or the fact that she had concealed over a hundred combined pounds of gunpowder and roofing nails under her dress. The person responsible for her burning was Thou-Shalt-Not-Commit-Adultery Pulsifer an ancestor of Newton Pulsifer. The remains of his hat was later found in a tree. -- source link
