So, she woulda been 17 when they filmed the pilot of 30 Rock??


That's awfully young. To make it big. Guess she's just THAT hot.

Yeah I just added that up now, too.

It honestly feels a little creepy.

Her and Jane Krakowski weren't in the original Pilot. They were both brought in to replace actresses that the network didn't approve of. Their scenes were filmed at a much later date and then edited into the final Pilot that aired in October, meaning she was probably 18 at the time of filming...if that matters.

iiiinteresting. I guess that makes it less creepy, yeah, haha

Though, I'm 22, less than a year older than she is, and I find it odd that her 18 year old self was being used for a character whose entire basis is her sex appeal.

Though maybe I'm just a prude???

Yeah, I had no idea how young she was, and I'm pretty surprised.

I think they were going for really young looking. I don't know how old her character is supposed to be, but I think the fact that she looks young adds to the whole "Lutz and Frank are sleaze balls" thing.

Not so much a prude, as rather bizarre, especially since you're only a couple years older. Point is, they needed someone really young, the job she has is that of someone who is really young. How would some 40 year old look as a receptionist/assistant/completely unskilled worker?
