Claire Higgins 32 in this movie??


I thought she looked older, wonder if her birth year is wrong on imdb and wikipedia. But besides that, she's still attractive especially in the flashbacks with her hair longer.

Y'know, I could eat a peach for hours

I'm pretty sure it's right. It seems like a lot of the cast of the first two movies look old for their age. Sean Chapman was 25 but looked at least 30. Kenneth Cranham was 44 but could have passed for 50. Doug Bradley was 32/33 but could have passed for 40. It's a pretty big contrast to the cast of Hellraiser III who are all 30 or close to it but gave the whole movie a 90210 vibe.

Ashley Laurence(Kristy) was only 16! I thought she was 22 at least! 

C'mon, man. AL was born in May '66. Hellraiser was filmed in late '86 and released in Sept '87. She was 20 when the movie was made.

How did you come up with 16?

reply

I know at one time, Ashley Laurence birth year was listed as 1970 or 1971.

I agree, she definitely seemed older in the movie! I thought she was in her 40's, lol.

reply

Most 32 year olds can pass for early to mid 20s. I thought she was like a good looking 45 year old.

reply

I would've guessed she was in her late 40s or early 50s. She isn't a bad looking woman, though.

reply

yes but the story demanded her to be older than 32 didn't it?

I came here to read about her, I loved her in that film, I did think she was in her 40s though, I was 20 when I saw it

reply

The 80s were not kind to adults and their fashions, when it's good, it's only ok (like in Fatal Attraction) but when it's bad, it's BAD (Working Girl)

I was thinking she was a lot older too.Was shocked to find out she was only 32.
