glad you are back Saint, I need some more info to make a guess on this one.

Mare Winningham? For some reason I think I read that she went to high school with Val Kilmer and Kevin Spacey. The reason I remember it is because I kept thinking that Kevin Spacey seem much older than them.

Hi Jessie, I actualy put this guess who up with you in mind... Thought you ould be first to guess it for sure after reading you fav movies!
Further clues were....
Her TV debut at age 16 was on "The Gong Show" (1976).
Is the only brat packer ever to be nominated for an Academy Award (for Georgia in 1995).
She and Vanessa Redgrave are the only actresses nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Supporting Actress category for playing the title role in a movie.
Was one of the nine original members of the 1980s "brat pack"
Valley has had a guess? would you like to TELL us who it is? )

Um....Jennifer Jason Leigh? Didn't know she was considered a brat packer. She has a few albums? I know I was surpised when I saw a Goldie Hawn album from 1972 in a store recently.

Valley was correct - Mare Winningham.
