Cordy & Ms. Calendar are the Same Age!

[UlaGan]

I was always surprised with Aly's real age: she looks so young in whole series, not just in high-school.
It was a shock of some sorts to find the truth out. I used to believe she was just about my age.

Still, it's regular movie practice - the older actors have more experience in actual acting, than just actual teenagers. That's jut like we can have 70 year old Juliet in theaters. %)

see, and i always thought eliza looked older than 18 when introduced. i thought she was more along the same age as SMG.

 

[Buffyverse Fan]

Gotta say... she was pretty damn gorgeous while pregnant, too.

She didn't look High School-young though 😉

When Spike and Harmony hooked up in season 4, James was 37 and Mercedes was 19.

I've always known that SMG was noticably younger than all the others (until MT entered the cast, of course 😉 ) and that CC was quite a bit older than her role... but the exact same age as Robia, nearly to the day? That is weird. Proof of good genes and aging well, huh? 😀

Cordy always looked the healthiest to me! Buffy got really thin in the later series no offence intended.

 

[LittleMissLikesToFight]

she did get scary thin. she looked even scarier at the paley reunion. my brother and i were like, whoa, what happened to her legs? creepy thin. though thats sort of off topic.....

im watching the series again and im keeping their ages in mind. i guess when i really think about it, yeah, nick and charisma do look their real ages, but i have to keep reminding myself they are older cuz im so used to just seeing them as the age they are in the show.

Cordy's age isn't actually stated. By Angel S1/Buffy S4 Cordy's referred to as 20-something.

Is she really? Cause if so thats ridiculous and a complete smack in the face of continuity IMO. Yeah her age was never specified but at most if she were to have been left behind in school one year she'd be a year older than them, making her no older than 19 in Angel S1 not a 20-something by any strectch of the imagination.

Unless she got left back a few times, lol.
S1's "Parting Gifts"

Barney: “How old are you?”
Cordy: “That is none of your…”
Barney: “Twenty-something? Hmm? With your head all up in the clouds and your feet in –hmm - shoes you can’t afford? All self-absorbed, full of regret. Poor, poor you. Poor little Cordelia with her delusions of an acting career.”
Cordy: “Delusions?”

(Barney was an empath demon, so he'd probably know & she didn't deny it).

Well in order to hold on to idea that Whedon and crew would never screw with continuity in that way I'll focus on the fact that she never confirmed it 😉

Buffy turned 19 in S4, so if Cordelia was a year older she could have been 20 in S1. Still thats just 20 not a 20 something lol.

Whedon never screws up with continuity! Buffy is supposed to have three birthdays! It's a Slayer thing, comes with the powers (after all, it's only fair to get b-day presents three times a year if it's a gamble for you to survive until you're 20). 😛

(If you really don't know what I'm talking about, click me!)

 

[Primal Slayer]

Thats the wonders of wardrobe-make up-hair styling. If you look at Robia (I think thats her name) after she left Buffy and grew her hair out, she looked a lot younger then she did then when she was playing Jenny Calendar.

Season 3-"The Prom"

Wesley: Mr. Giles. I'd like your opinion. While the last thing I want to do is muddle bad behavior in front of impressionable youth, I wonder if asking Miss Chase to dance would...
Giles: For God's sake, man, she's eighteen. And you have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone. Just have at it, would you, and stop fluttering about. (walks away)
