Cindy Valentine was born in 1975 (apparently), She looked way older than that, she looked older than Robin Lively !! I thought she was in her 20s

That's impossible....there is zero chance that the actress was only 13. She was in her late teens or early 20s in Teen Witch!!! There's no way she was born in 1975.

I think there's 3 possible explanations
1. Imdb screwed up and got the actress' Birth year wrong
2. Cindy Valentine is lying about her age
3. She was the most mature looking 13 year old ever

imdb is usually pretty accurate. I am darn sure that Ms. Valentine is lying about her age, as do many actresses. Her voice is WAY too deep and she just looks like she's in her late 20s. Look at her current headshot on imdb....she's supposed to pass for 39? NO WAY!!

Yeah I think so too, she has a credit playing ' woman at disco' in a 1986 tv show, she would have been 11 years old playing a woman at a disco - I don't think so .

In her imdb profile picture she looks at least 50, so there's no way in hell she was born in 1975. Mysteriously, on an internet search, all that information has disappeared, which means she most likely hired someone to erase any evidence of her age to continue getting work in Hollywood as someone younger. Shame on Hollywood and society for not allowing women to age gracefully.

I agree...Hollywood is shameful. And did I read somewhere a group filed a lawsuit against IMDB for listing female actors age?

I don't know. Amanda Peterson was 15. She looked way older than 15 in Can't Buy Me Love.
