What is the correct form when talking about, for example, an actor in a movie? Would it be
"Marie Antoinette"s Kirsten Dunst, or
"Marie Antoinette"'s Kirsten Dunst?

Of course, the rule is normally to require the 's for a possessive, otherwise it looks like a plural. But the quote/apostrophe or double aporstrophe just looks wrong. Thoughts, if you are an editor or have a learned opinion on this?

(And yes, I know the paper could have just said Kirsten Dunst of "Marie Antoinette," but they didnt. :p )

I thought is was to use the opposite to emphasis something, eg you may say "Yeah, right," when you don't believe something. But often people say something is ironic when it's a coincidence, like I heard recently "it was ironic that a Californian man was stabbed by a stingray so soon after Steve Irwin died the same way." Which is correct?
