    Apparently Ally wrote the book -- a best seller -- in her spare time.
    She danced with the American Ballet Theatre from six to fourteen, but later switched to acting full time because she didn't want to be anorexic.
    'She Was Nice To Mice' was so popular that it was released as a spoken word vinyl (this was prior to books on tape) read by, of course, Alexandra Elizabeth Sheedy.
    She continues to act AND is a book editor as well as a professor of theatre.
    Wow. I'm happy to just get groceries and pull a few weeds.

      To be precise, Books On Tape was founded in 1975, the year this show was broadcast.
      Caedmon released the vinyl LP the following year. Of course books and excerpts from them were available for decades prior on other media.

If you liked this be sure to check out the Mike Douglas episode of Ally Sheedy, Andrea McArdle and Kristy McNichol from the 1970's. It was very cool and groovy! Ally turned out to be a great actor and enjoy her movies!! Gosh this was a happy blast from the past!!

    Whats amazing is not only was this a best seller for her, but it's not even her best work. Her book ,'Yesterday I Saw The Sun' is a collection of her original poems. All about her trials and life as an anorexic ballet dancer to her rehabilitation from addiction. We use this book in a clinical setting for young ladies in rehab. Ally has also written other works but unfortunately, I think her acting and also as Professor of drama at City College of New York has taken way to much time on her personal writing. Hopefully someday when she needs a sabbatical maybe she get back to writing! 🌹🕊️

    Very fun to see this. I graduated USC the same year as her (1985) and I was probably only 5 rows behind her that day. They sat us music school graduates behind the drama department. She was already known by that time from some movies she’d done and so she was easy to recognize. She looks very cute here and she’s obviously a very smart and talented person. Happy that she’s had the success in her career. Kind of wish I would have got to know her back in our college years.

    I really enjoyed this.
    I was already familiar with Ally's book (though I haven't read it yet). I have read one (and own) of her books of poetry. It was written when she was going through some dark times, and I found her poems had a great deal of emotion and depth. I bought the book because I was a fan of her acting, but then I became a fan of her writing, too. In fact, it was her writing that really opened my mind to poetry and all that it could be. That helped me when I had to teach a Reading unit on poetry to my elementary school students.
    If you ever read this, Ally, thank you.

      Being on a show like this (not being able to play by standard political rules, knowing the questions in advance from the panel) on prime time network TV and surviving should be mandatory before running for any political office.

    Back in the 80s, my wife (at the time) looked like Ally Sheedy, and although we were both fans, my wife would say, "I'm having a Sheedy day today" as sort of an homage to Ally. That could be either good or bad, depending on how she felt.
