Why is her year of birth still 1985?


Her bio clearly states she graduated from The Richard Stockton College and went on to appear in Lucky Numbers, which opened in 2000. So she was obviously somewhere in her 20s in the year 2000, meaning she definitely wasn't born in 1985.

She played a teen girl in Lucky Numbers so why would she have to be in her 20s? Wouldn't it make sense she was a teenager at the time?

reply

She would have to be in her 20s because she got the role after graduating college. I'm not sure whether it was a 2 or 4 year university, but she couldn't have been any younger than 20 when she was in the movie.

Even more, her Wikipedia entry also lists her year of birth as 1985, but then goes on to directly contradict this with the fact that she was in the Miss Teen USA Pageant in 1995 at the age of 17.

I'm not sure where anyone is getting 1985 from or why it keeps getting listed in her bios when facts about her clearly state she was born in 1978.

Did a little research and the MS NJ Teen Winner was a Joyce Houseknecht...digging deeper that was Law's original name and for some reason they list Joyce's birthday as 1985 as well so it looks like you win the prize, she's actually 7 years older than she's pretending to be.

Must be pressure on women in Hollywood, but pretty funny her DOB is listed as 85 everywhere despite the empirical evidence she had to be born in 78.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying she's pretending to be younger than she is. She may be, but I'm not saying the false info is coming from her.

Well digging deeper she may be hiding/distancing herself from something that happened to her family in the past. Her brother was found guilty of murder - http://articles.philly.com/2009-04-18/news/25286897_1_parole-board-fam ily-visits-kim-anderson

They said his mother was ashamed of him, favoring his younger sister, Joyce, a successful beauty pageant contestant who was crowned Miss New Jersey Teen USA in 1995.

And this picture of her back in 1995 looks like her - http://www.geocities.ws/missusamagicb/njersey95.jpg

So to conclude this birth year on imdb is definitely wrong.

Women in Hollywood regularly lie about their age.
