Could it have been Mary Stuart Masterson 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? 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?
No, I’d already gone down that path. 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:
- He didn’t know her from a movie, it was a TV series.
- The series ran from mid-90s to 2000.
- 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.
the “now” photo is far from disappointing.
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.
You remind me of a man.
Ahh, from the OP, I was thinking Phoebe Cates from Drop Dead Fred.
As bibliophage noted, she did have a few teenage roles. The Bachelor & the Bobbi-soxer and That Hagen Girl, among them.
