I co-sign on the Cree Summer/Tracey Ellis Ross piece. That isht is scary.

Finally, I know Jasmine Guy hasn't aged as well as we would have hoped, but I'm just always gonna love her...so I can't even say anything bad.

Where was Charnele Brown (Kim), Glenn Thurman (Col. Taylor), Mr Gaines??? It's not like these folks are working and too busy to come through.
"Mr. Gaines" is playing the role of Mr.'s father in The Color Purple play. :D :cool:

ETA: Cree and Tracee can definitely pass for sisters. Wow.

Question: Are Lisa Bonet & Cree Summers Vegans???

If so, Wow….
Cause all Vegans look like they are about to die any minute.

..You know like they are looking like they are lacking protein & vitamins, e.g Brandy…

There’s a reason why the Lord wants us to eat MEAT, but I digress

Especially the one that said Lisa Bonet looked like she was in Pirates of the Caribbean.

Just because we don't see them in front of the camera doesn't mean they're not working. ;)

@ ladylike: You took the words outta my mouth.

That's a doggone shame that they look like that. What are some of them doing with those syndication royalty checks, which are getting larger thanks to Nick at Nite?

Maybe Cree Summer is planning to make a guest appearance on Girlfriends as Joan's long lost half-sister. It looked Diana just spit her out! You would think that Cree's "gift" for doing children's voices in cartoons would keep her looking just as young as ever. Another theory gone straight to hell.

Does anyone know how old the cast members actually were when the show first aired? It doesn't make sense that so many of them look old.

Now do they truly look "old"? And when we say "old", how old are we talking?
Dawn looks the same to me and so does Debbie.
However, Lisa Bonet, Jasmine Guy and Cree Summer look "old"---or maybe haggard would be a better word. Sinbad looks pretty much the same and if you toss a hot and bifocals on Ron, he pretty much looks the same.
Kadeem Hardison falls under the "bless his heart" catergory. :o

ETA: The show premiered September 1987
Well...dang. LOL

They looked a HOT MESS, tattered, to' up from the flo' up...just wrong.

I guess I was just surprised that they were so wrinkled.

Cree Summer looks a hot mess!!! Isn't she Lisa Bonet's sister? I wasn't even looking for the newer folks like Jada, Charmaine (don't know her real name) because they were not at the core of the shows success in my mind.

PHP Code:
Actor                   Age at Debut                          Age Now
Jasmine Guy                23                                         42
Kadeem Hardison            22                                         41 
Cree Summer                18                                         37
Lisa Bonet                 19                                         38
Sinbad                     31                                         50
Dawnn Lewis                25                                         44
Darry Bell                 24                                         43 
I actually always thought that Jasmine Guy was much older than the rest of the characters. There was something about her hair and make-up that made me think she looked like she was in her late twenties while the others were in their teens and early twenties. Late in the series, when they changed her hair and make-up, made it softer, I thought she looked younger.

I know, I have way too much time on my hands.

How come these 2 aren't the same age now, if they were the same age then?

Subtraction mistake. Thanks for pointing it out. It has all been fixed.
