  Talkin' Broadway Off-Broadway - Yeardley Smith: More - 3/22/04
Smith spends the full 90 minutes of the play explaining where she came from, where she is, and why - even when credits included a number of TV shows, feature films, a Broadway play, and an Emmy Award - she has almost never been satisfied with what she's had.
The reason for this, Smith reckons, is that a significant portion of her life involved trying to "fill the inside from the outside," searching for acceptance in her career that she couldn't get from her frequently absent father or somewhat reserved mother.
Over the course of her life, Smith always wanted to have everything but not pay the price for it - this led to a number of illicit affairs, a marriage that failed when she neglected it in favor of work, and long bouts with depression and bulimia.

 Yeardley Smith
Yeardley Smith is unarguably the keeper of one of Hollywood's most distinctive-sounding and instantly recognizable set of vocal chords; the Emmy-winning actress' most famous role is without question that of level-headed, suburban schoolgirl Lisa Simpson on the long-running animated television series The Simpsons.
A small supporting role in the 1987 teen comedy Three O'Clock High was quick to follow, and that same year, Smith would step behind the microphone for the role that would change her life.
Though Smith would still make the occasional foray into features, with bit roles in City Slickers, Toys, Just Write, and As Good As It Gets, it was her role on The Simpsons that kept her busy throughout the 1990s and into the new millennium.

 Here's Yeardley! (BroadwayWorld.com)
Yeardley Smith’s anxiety about being “on the fringe” of fame is just one of the afflictions she confesses to in More, an autobiographical solo show she wrote that is currently in previews and opens March 22.
Smith says she’d been hankering to return to the New York theater for some time, though the closest she’d come before More was consideration—but not an actual audition—for the role of Columbia in the 2000 revival of The Rocky Horror Show (Joan Jett got the part).
Initially conceived as a mock Barbara Walters interview, Smith’s show is now a monologue staged on a fully decorated set resembling an attic full of boxes, scrapbooks and other belongings—appropriate surroundings as Smith literally and figuratively rifles through the memories of her life and career.
