Rosario Dawson only 5 yrs older than Melonie Diaz!
According to IMDB, Rosario is only 5 years older than Melonie Diaz, the actress who played the younger Laurie. Hard to believe!
But Rosario has always looked older to me than her reported age. Not saying she actually *is* older, but she just never looked that young to me. I remember when she was in the movie version of "Rent" the character was supposed to be 19. She looked more like late twenties.
And so apparently Rosario was 27 when "..Saints" was made. But she can easily pass for thirties, which I'm assuming Laurie was supposed to be in those scenes.
