(I've already mentioned this to the Chenmiester, but I thought a wider audience might appreciate the information.)

Last week a local television station (NBN3) showed the one and only Miss Yeardley Smith in the movie ``Catholic Boys''. The story involves a group of boys attending final year at a grade school in Brookland, and Yeardley plays a role as her usual stereotype of a mousy debutante in a nearby girls school.

About mid-way through the movie after a social/prom/dance attended by the two schools, a friend sets her up with a blind date (a fat geeky bloke wearing glasses) and is brought along for a drive. With the car parked half-way across a bridge, the two are left alone in the back seat while her friend and friend's boyfriend leave for a more private location. Cathleen (YS) throws herself upon the geek, but is interrupted a few minutes later by the bridge swinging open for an approaching tug-boat and terror ensues as the car almost falls into the water.

The movie was made around eight years ago and also stars Donald Sutherland, Patrick Dempsey, plus a few others who look familiar but I can't recall the names for. I started watching the movie about 30 minutes after it had started, and I recognized her immediately when Cathleen sighed while sitting alone during the dance. I'd also like to mention that Yeardley had long hair
