- <p> If William Shakespeare could be an actor and a poet,
- there's no reason Ally Sheedy can't be both as well. Her
- upcoming literary entry is Yesterday I Saw the Sun, a 50-poem
- tome in which she chronicles her adolescence in the limelight.
- "It's a crystallization of different moments of time, so I
- would never forget them," she says. Those moments included bouts
- with drugs, bulimia and, at 16, an abortion. Will she delve in
- the Shakespearean realm of theater? Not likely. Says Sheedy,
- 28: "I don't think I'll ever be a playwright or a screenwriter.
- Not a good one anyway."
