That was Pauline, out-of-the-box, up there. A lot of facial similarities, really. I would be surprised if that wasn't intentional.
Being apparently based on that actress, Pauline has what we might call a Significant Forehead. It's significant like Antonia's nose is significant, a feature that is arguably more pronounced than one should be for the shape of a Poser head. One would think more generalized and bland would be better, but we keep getting base shape faces loaded with personality. Anyway, I need to compensate for that sort of thing, with my process. And one thing I note is that I don't have a good way to diminish a brow and forehead like Pauline's. The process as it stands can metabolize a prominent nose or weak chin, or presumably any outsized or overly-prominent facial features from the middle of the face or the jawline, all those areas you can see covered with dots, in the above image. But not the forehead. So I need to work on that, and try to anticipate other potential geometry idiosyncrasies as I continue development.
The Pauline test went well. Processing was quick, even on the clinky GalliumOS CELES Chromebook on which I'm developing. It may be worth noting, though, that both Antonia's and Pauline's heads lack internal mouth parts. I anticipate having to screen those out, once I test a V4 or something, and work out a way of coping withe the teeth.
These show some results from that initial test. You can see that significant brow, and it makes me wonder not only how to reduce it with Pauline, but how to intensify that effect with the R.S. face for Antonia or other figures. Working only with front and side images, something like that brow can be overlooked, since it seems mainly to be evident in 3/4 view.
I have other observations, but I'm not sure whether anyone is even interested, so I'm-a stop typing now.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking. He apologizes for this. He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.
Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below. His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
