Some people are forever knocking on America's door, but are always left out in the cold.
While others seem to be whisked right in, and given a big ol' showbiz hug.
And it seems that Anna Friel could well be the latest limey celeb to get the love-hug from the US.
Her new TV role over the pond is tipped to make her a mahoosive success.
We must admit she's made it look easy.
So, keep your eyes peeled for Anna appearing on a telly screen near you soon, in a series called Pushing Up Daisies.
Anna plays the girlfriend of a man who brings dead folk back to life with a single touch - sounds like a winner.
Anyhoo, we don't reckon she'll get too lonely over there, she is the latest in a flurry of Brits who've taken a hop, skip and a jump over to the US of A.
