Atomic number of an element with a symbol, given by Mendeleev, the same as the initials of the title character of the only film starring an actress and her former beau, who had a tattoo with her name on it until their break-up, upon which he removed the last two letters of her name.

SOLUTION - Johnny Depp had a tattoo saying “Winona Forever” until his break-up with Winona Ryder, when he changed it to “Wino Forever”. The two starred together in Edward Scissorhands. Mendeleev predicted the existence of element 32 (now called germanium), and gave it the provisional name ekasilicon, with symbol Es. NB: the element can't be einsteinium, which was discovered long after Mendeleev's era.
