Marisa Tomei plays a high school science whiz who’d rather be a school teacher.
Here is her filmography as an actress - Marisa Tomei - IMDb
Best guess with a quick scan might be the ABC Afterschool Special.
Tel: As soon as I posted, went to imdb, had same idea. Wish they listed titles!
Is it Supermom’s Daughter?
Yup Nemo!! Great find!
That’s the ABC Afterschool Special I suggested in the first response. IMDB does list titles, I just didn’t include it in my response.
She’s better in The Wrestler.
When I went to imdb, I couldn’t find titles. Of course, I’m an idiot, so there’s that.
Yes, I used your suggestion and looked for a list of ABC Afterschool Specials. I found one on Wikipedia and searched it for Marisa Tomei’s name.
