Not so much when she was younger and in this movie, but the older she got, she could pass for Kimmy Granger's mom.

Tina's soccer mom haircut made her look older.

To me she looked about 17-18, give or take. The mousy hairdo didn't do her much justice, I'll admit that. The part about teens looking like middle-school kids I disagree with that. I've seen some amazing bodies on 16 year old girls daily so nothing has changed as far as sexual maturity goes but as far as mental maturity they were definitely better years ago before all this lame coddling and forcing teens and young adults to stay kids longer than they should. It will hurt them in the long run.

I think the lack of sleep and stress relating to freddy entering her dreams aged her.

I always thought she looked like a substitute teacher.
A bit of the old ultraviolence

I thought her mature look worked for her. Like she came from a rough homelife and had to grow up fast. She seemed like a tough chick.

Tina looked as old as Nancy's mother!
Tell you what…When I send my ex-wife her money…you can lick the stamps.

I mostly Agree, intothenightalone.

Actress was 23, but her "look" is still seen on women who are now in their 40s-50s. It's why when I see movies from the 80s the guys look like young guys but the women look like middle aged women with great skin, because their "look" is middle-aged.

Amanda Wyss has sharp features, & the short hair did more tomake her looksevere. She's conclusively hot - if u want to see her looking young, she was on an episode of
Cheers
playing Woody's Indiana girlfriend visiting Boston. With normal lighting and long hair, she looked young.

Her character is 15. Does she look it? No way. I agree she could pass for late 20s or 30.

30 is an exaggeration, but she didn't look 15. Maybe around 21.
That's more like it. I was 18 when the film came out and I never thought she was a decade older than me at the time. She was a leggy dream, IMO.
No blah, blah, blah!

30 is an exaggeration, but she didn't look 15. Maybe around 21. But one has to remember that in those days, teenagers tended to dress and look older than they do now. Nowdays 15 year olds still look like they're in middle school, but 30 years ago they could look 21.

Her character is said to be fifth-teen years old.

30? Really? No offence but if a woman looks like that at age 30 they're extremely lucky!
Green Goblin is great!

sometimes their birthdays line up weird with the timing of how old you can be before you start so by the time the next enrollment starts the child is nearly a year older than the other kids in their grade. so you can have a 19 year old senior before the school year is over, but yeah unless they repeated grades they should a senior if they're 19 and only for a couple months before school is over.

No one is 19 in high school unless they flunked a couple of grades

Yeah I figured all the kids were seniors in high school, 17 to 19 years old. When Marge is watching the news and they say Tina was 15, to me they just got on the scene of a grisly murder and are just repeating what they are told. iMO the reporter got Tina's age wrong, that's all.
