Could it have been [Mary Stuart Masterson](http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2235010560/nm0000524) in _Some Kind of Wonderful_? ---

I got a no on Mary Stuart Masterson and a couple of others I threw out there, including Michelle Williams. But I have a FB photo to go on now, so let me see if I can come up with anything on that. Sorry, won’t post some poor woman’s name here, so that will be up to me. ---

Ok, the haircut is not really a page boy, it’s probably a bit more like an 80s/90s version of Mary Tyler Moore hair, with long bangs combed to one side and some longer hair sort of flipping out from the bottom. Unfortunately I don’t get a great image from FB and can’t really access further whilst here. I’ll look for a clearer picture later today. ---

Is is Audrey Tautou from [Amelie](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0211915/)? Not early 90’s, but that’s who came to mind. That poster is kind of creepy actually, but she’s pretty cute in the movie. ---

How about Winona Ryder in something like Heathers? ---

If it was her that she looks like, I was going to start volunteering at their school. ---

it’s so disappointing. First, some correcting hints: 1. He didn’t know her from a movie, it was a TV series. 2. The series ran from mid-90s to 2000. 3. Haircut of the kid on the show was kind of awful, in the only pic I could find. I lived overseas during much of that run, so not really familiar with the show, although I’ve heard of it. I’ll post the answer in a second. ---

True, in fact, kind of inspiring, given the “then” photo. But the answer is so far from the original, tepid clues as to be pretty much totally useless. ---

As **bibliophage** noted, she did have a few teenage roles. The Bachelor & the Bobbi-soxer and That Hagen Girl, among them.
