"The Ghost Writer's" Olivia Williams takes to teaching

The English actress talks about two of her pivotal roles -- as mentor and muse in "Rushmore" and "An Education."

Yes, Olivia Williams has enjoyed a rich and busy career – playing a key role (Bruce Willis' wife) in M. Night Shyamalan's box office behemoth The Sixth Sense, and getting the pivotal part as the prime minister's (Pierce Brosnan's) duplicitous spouse in the new and neat Polanski thriller, The Ghost Writer -- but it's fair to say that many people think of the English actress as, well, a school teacher.
