That is part of the Meredith Monroe mystique. She successfully pulled off acting a 16 year old while being at least 28. According to some she graduated Hinsdale IL, High in 1988. Her birth dates on the net range from 1968 to 1977. I personally believe the 1970 birth date.
Some say she was written out of the show for lying to the producers about her age, again I think not. They had to get rid of her to make way for Joey.
To this day, Meredith Monroe is a very attractive youthful looking lady. -

I know this is an old post, but I can believe she was much older than the role she was playing. I remember reading magazines at the time where she would not tell her age at all. so she must have been older.

the magazine Entertainment weekley says in the article from 1999:
"All righty, then. Whatever her strategy, Monroe brought a boatload of spunk to Creek last fall as the love interest of town clown Pacey Witter. ''She has this charm and humor and talent wrapped up in an adorable package,'' says exec producer Paul Stupin. For the 22-year-old, joining the Capeside crew in Wilmington, N.C., was a bizarro experience. ''I was a fan before I got the job, so it just seemed so unreal,'' she says. ''It was like, 'Wow, I'm going to be working with Joey and Dawson.''' "

I guess it will always be a topic of debateWhat is Meredith's real age.
I still have not come across anything where she states her age, but I did come across this not to long ago. This was the results of a 10k run in 2005
356 1148 3095 Meredith Kavovit F 28 7458 1:01:08 09:50
Steve Kavovit is Meredith's husband. I was actually looking for some background on him when I came across this He was in the same race. obviously she used her married name when entering the race. The 28 after the F is her age in 2005. I am sure she had to show some sort of identification. A lot of these races are broken down into age categories.
Now actresses are known to fudge their age on occasion. She would not be the only one. I looked at her pictures on Getty Images, I can not tell if she is 33 or 41. On Dawson's Creek I think she did the best job of portraying a 16 year old, she certainly looked the youngest.
Anyway she is a very beautiful woman. -

Given that her earliest screen credits are from 1997, I doubt she was born in the 60s. 1977 makes a lot more sense. She would have been 20 when she got her first professional gig. That would be 18 years to the end of high school and then two years to move (presumably) to California and look for work. I am pretty sure that I have never heard of an actress who did not start working until she was almost 30.

I am not sure about her age. I have seen it range from 1968 to 1977. I personally think her DOB is 1970 which would go along with her high school graduation date 1988. After Meredith graduated high school she attendded college. It does not say that she graduated or how many years she was there.
Meredith lived in NYC for a time where she was a print model. Notably being on Hardy Boys book covers and some Hair product boxes and several more
Meredith Also did several 30 second ads most notably for Mentos, Ford Explorer, 7up and several others.
So she had a career before she became an actress.
She is a beautiful woman at either 35 or 42.
My disappointment is that her acting career never really took off. I think she is one of the better actresses out there. -

Ellen Albertini Dow was 72 when she started and she turned into a solid B-level (as in fame, not quality of work) tv-actress many are familiar with.

Also Eileen Essell, who was 79 at her first acting gig
http://www.imdb.com/board/21169742/
So, it is plausible. Although, I must admit that Meredith always looked younger than her suggested age on IMDb. -

Then you must not be "listening" enough, because there are even actors who didn't start working until after 40 and 50. It's rare, but by no means is it not possible.
It's called finding a different calling, or running into different opportunities after 25. Not everyone takes the conventional road, believe it or not. Maybe you'll even do something unconventional one day. -

Meredith is actually 40..no one can tell the truth like wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meredith_Monroe
And i think its great..Its because of the lifestyle people look younger. I heard Meredith does alot of exercising, she loves beauty and shopping. She is a quite active woman.
Hey, my father is close to 60, but he looks like 43. And one of my uncles is 40 too, but looks like 26.
Alot of actors/actresses can play 10 or 20 years younger, if they look close to the age. Getting older is what everyone is going through, but how they feel like is what truly matters.
