22. Yeah, when "TCFC" premeired, Lydia was 20 something, not a teenager. The premise of the show was the 20-something daughters still lived with parents. And, to save $, [SF was still expensive those days] they rented room to Munroe.

Wikipedia is not a reliable source, and they admit it themsevles too.

FWIW, Lydia looks great for 50-something!

26. Okay people. Lydia is 55 years old. Check out the info on imdb.com (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0003981/bio). Also on her myspace page she lists her age as 55. She still looks terrific. Some people are just blessed with good genes.
