    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.
    http://www.imdb.com/board/20016687/
    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.

      I am pretty sure that I have never heard of an actress who did not start working until she was almost 30.
      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.

            A lot of character actors did not get their first film credit til they were in their 30s. Some people try different careers before acting

                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.

                    Meredith looks great!!!!!!! She's 42 now & looking youthful!!!!! She takes good care of herself by taking care of her body!!!!!! From what I heard she works out by doing yoga, running, & hiking. She also loves shopping & beauty products as well. She's also a great person in general as well!!!!!

                      Isn't wikipedia open to anybody to edit informations freely? Because if it is, then the credibilty and accuracy of the infos are questionable.

                            she never admitted her age in interviews, even back in the dawson's days. it was only ever reported as "in her twenties". i still have the issue of YM magazine with her on the cover and she wouldn't say.

                                She was on Raising The Bar last night, and I find it hard to believe she's 40-she looks terrific.

                                  I'm watching her on criminal minds now .. I'd say she looks about her age .. maybe can pass for 37 but you can tell she's not 'in her 20s'

                                        She is 40, and no she does not look 20. Meredith is a very attractive woman. With that said, she has a youthful appearance. She probably could play ab68ny role from early 30's and up, but I think the days of her playing a 20 year old are past her.
                                        What I like about her role as Andie Mcphee, is that she portrayed a 16 year old at 29. For the most part she looked 16, but what was even better, she did a very convincing job acting as a 16 year old. Better than some of her cast mates who were a lot closer to 16

                                          What I really admired in DC was that she played Andie as quite young in S2-4 but then when she returned in the series finale (S6), she made her seem much more sophisticated. Of all of the main cast she was the one who was believeable as being much more grown up - even her voice was completely different, much more mature.
                                          I wish she were more recognised for her talent.
