Who was the oldest actor that played a teen in a movie or tv show?
We all know for most of these teen movies, they are really in their late 20's or early 30's, but i wonder who the oldest is?

Stacey Dash is not to far behind them.
Played a seventeen-year-old girl on Clueless (1995) when she was really in her late twenties.

Margot Fonteyn was 47 when she played the female lead in a film adaptation of the ballet Romeo and Juliet. That's gotta be a contender.

Barbra Streisand must have been at least 40 when she made Yentl.

Stacey Dash was born in '66, so she was 29 when Clueless came out. And for what it's worth, there are some nude (topless) pics of her from the movie "Illegal in Blue" (also from '95).
Gabrielle Carteris was born in '61 (January 2), so would have been 29 when Beverly Hills 90210 first came on in '90. Luke Perry was born in '65 (so would have been 25).
Grease is from '78, Olivia Newton-John was born in '48, so she would have been 30.
In the Porky's Revenge movie which came out in '85, which depicted them about to graduate (Class of '55), there are a couple of the actors who were 30 (Kaki Hunter & Wyatt Knight). Was the Brian Schwartz character a teenager? If so, the actor Scott Colomby was 33 (born in '52).
