High School Or Long School?

Just watched the movie Grease.

Hmm. Rydell is a HIGH SCHOOL? Really. Lessee here.

John Travolta. 24 years old. Um, a bit of a stretch there, but okay.

Olivia Newton-John. 30 years old? Maybe a few credits didn't transfer from Australia.

Stockard Channing. 34 years old. So, basically twice the age of a high school senior. The one who nearly had a baby right? Isn't it a statutory offense to have relations with a teenager? Thank goodness the guy was actually 28.

Average age of the top ten cast members: 27.6.

Remember at the end, Travolta brags about earning a varsity letter in track? Takes a bit of the shine off, don't it?

Heh! Thanks for shedding light on this...even Frenchie was 27 and I always took her for one of the youngest!! Oh well. Grease is still MY all time favorite 'classic'!!!
