Why would they have picked someone that was much older than the character she played?

I read she was 30 when she was playing an 18 year old.

I'm gonna take a guess here:

Alex, Who is Emma Thompson in "Sense and Sensibility"?

Am I right? Was it a Daily Double?

Ok, I have no real idea who you might be talking about. But the truth is, it's fairly common to cast someone in their 20s or 30s as a teenager. Lane from "Gilmore Gilrs", Andrea from "90210", and countless others have all been much older. In fact, it's a plague in Hollywood, giving American teen girls a complex that having the figure of a 25 year-old is the norm.

And I think it's a little insulting to teens, who can better relate to teen characters if they're played by teens.

So the answer probably is that the casting director was out of touch and crusty.
