Dionne's age


I just looked up Stacy Dash's bio Holy cow, she was born in 1966 which means she was 30 when the show started. How can a 30 year old actress portray a teenager and get away with it. I always thought she was sexy but to think that she is 40 today makes me feel a lot older.

lol..wow

Hollywood does that all the time. Most of the cast of Beverly Hills 90210 was either in their mid to late twenties-early thirties during the high school years. And Gabrielle Union played a sophomore in 10 Things I Hate About You (Bianca's friend) and she was twenty-seven at the time. She's almost ten years older than Julia Stiles and her character was supposed to be two years younger.

And lets not forget Sean Patrick Thomas was 30 when he did "Save the last Dance".He was also 10 years older than Julia Stiles.

Don't forget about Regina George in Means. Rachel McAdams was about 27 when she as playing a 17 year old Junior

reply

Stacey was actually 29 when they filmed it - they started filming in 1998 and it aired in 1999

She made a joke about it in one show.

reply

Suspension of disbelief? I think she's short too, so that probably helps in the portrayal, and maybe she just ages well or has a face that looks younger than her age.

reply

I couldn't believe it when I first read that, I thought it was a joke. She looks fannntastic! And not just for her age, she just looks great in general! (I know she still looks great because I saw her briefly on that celebrity circus thing last year.)

reply

Most celebrities are WAY older than what they admit to (i.e. beyonce actually being 35 years old). That means she's one of the few who admits to her real age, which is cool of her. Most teen movies and tv shows have characters that are well into their twenties and up. Since tv and movies are written by people in their 30s and up, they need people who look old enough to at least match the dialogue (which would be much different from real teenagers).

Charisma Carpenter was 28 playing a 16-17 year old when she started Buffy.

aprilish22, Beyonce Knowles is 29 not 35. She was born September 4th 1981. For her to be 35 she's have to be born in 1974.

Trina McGee was born in 1969 and played a high school student in Boy Meets World (Angela). It doesn't really matter how old you are, if you look young enough than you can play the character.

LMAO give me a break. She was born in the early 80s. If she's in her mid 30s, how is it possible that Kelly Rowland, LeToya and Lativa were in the same group during their childhood?

Wasn't Olivia Newton John pushing 30 in Grease?

reply

Yep, in fact the whole cast of Grease were in their thirties playing teenagers (Stockard Channing who played Rizzo was 36). The only person close to that age was Dinah Manoff who played Marty. I think she was 19.
