Yeah, but it is not uncommon for actors, especially female actors, to portray characters much younger than they actually are. Sissy Spacek was 27 in Carrie and I believe Stace Dash was about 27 or 28 playing a high school sophomore in Clueless. Joyce Hyser does pull off a youthful appearance in this film and plays the role of an adolescent boy/girl very well.

I am 34, everyone always thinks I am in my early 20's.
Same with me, i look alot youunger than my age too, I am 36 but a lot of people think i look like i can be in my mid 20's. It is probably because i aged well thanks to not smoking or drinking.

Nah, well maybe in your case, but I smoke and people are still amazed that im 39. In fact, I'll go as far as to say I've had very unhealthy habits. A lot of people in their 30's and 40s seem to be aging remarkably well compared to older generations. I'm not sure why that is.

It was better portrayed back then; just a nuance about the time and culture back then when people knew the meaning of innocence. I swear that's a sincere commentary and not intended as pretentious even though it may sound like it. Well, it's no secret I hold a special place in my heart for the 80s but it seems kind of absurd and a stretch when a 28 year old today playing an 18 year old because it seems there are no boundaries between the ages anymore when it comes to fashion or behavior of today's people.
I just saw this movie by chance and really loved it. I must still be reeling from the nostalgia of the movie and the comments. -

Leigh McCloskey (Kevin) was 30, and supposedly playing a college aged guy and he was believable. But yes, Joyce looked way younger than 28. Deborah was 27, as well and passed for a teen as well. I am just wondering now if older actors could get away with playing teens. It seems like our culture just doesn't allow for it anymore.
