Katherine plays Romy, the slightly smarter of the two ditzy blonde
friends-for-life in this prequel to the 1997 feature film, "Romy and
Michele's High School Reunion." This time around it's 1987, and new
high school graduates Romy and Michele are desperate to get away
from their hometown of Tucson, Arizona. Their goal is to leave their
square town behind and be amongst the beautiful, hip people in
Hollywood, California, where they can realize their dream of
socializing with the rich and famous. Their lives would be complete
if they could just get into the celebrity-laden Ozone, the hottest
nightclub in Los Angeles. It takes them three years to save up
enough money -- and find the right outfits to wear - but once in
Hollywood, the lovable and lucky duo's escapades lead them to a cast
of characters who keep their lives from being anything but square.
Robin Schiff, who wrote the screenplay of "Romy and Michele's High
School Reunion," is also screenwriter, executive producer and
director on "Romy and Michele: Behind The Velvet Rope." The two-hour
prequel is from Touchstone Television.
