Lauri Peters looks about 35 years old in this movie


I think the casting directors needed their glasses on. NO WAY could she pass for a 14 year old.

Lauri was always playing young teen roles but she really did look older than she was. She looks far older than 19 in this movie.

What do others think?

She did look a little older than 14, but certainly not like a 35 year old. Either way, she was adorable in this movie.

Part of it is her clothes, makeup, coiffed hair; they seem to be for an adult. But that IS the way most teens dressed in the early 60's!

I agree. All the Hobbs' daughters dressed similarly to their mother. That was the norm back then. When I watch old movies it's hard for me to tell people's ages. All the men wore suits and hats and all the women dressed and coiffed their hair in similar styles.

They made her look gray-haired, almost.

Totally disagree. 35? Huh? She looked well underage and I watched it on a big screen.

I thought she looked amazingly like Jane Wyman.

I think she looks like a 17 or 18 year old . . . . who doesn't work out at all.

She reminds me of Amy Linker from TV's "Square Pegs".

She looked about 15 or 16.
