Eleanor Lynn--12 years old?

Eleanor Lynn, who played Jerry, was born in 1925 according to her IMDb page. That's a real stretch for the way she appeared. Obviously her birth year is a lie. Even if precocious, no way would a 12-year-old have been cast opposite 17-year-old Mickey Rooney.

Just watched the film.
No way she was 12 at this time. She looked older than Rooney.

IMDB has since corrected it to 1916, making her 21 or so in '37.
