Hollywood Swimmer

This summer, because our town's pool is under renovation, the summer swim team has had to practice in several various nearby pools.  One such pool is in Brookline, and this facility clearly has a rich history.  In the lobby of the pool building hang black-and-white photos from the earliest days of swim team and swim lessons at this aquatic center.  Madeleine came across this picture today:



MADELEINE: Hey Mommy!  I think one of those girls is in "The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants."  The one under the coach's RIGHT arm.
ME: Hmm.  You think she's one of the actresses from that movie?
MADELEINE: Well, it LOOKS just like her.
ME: Which character does she look like?
MADELEINE: The one who plays Bailey.  I think it IS her!


The actress who plays Bailey is named Jenna Boyd, grew up in Texas, and was born in 1993, well after the above photo was taken.  But hey, maybe they're long-lost relatives or something.  What do you think?
