While Ms Margaret did a good job I do feel she was a bit too old to be playing a high school girl.

Chynna Philips was much better!! That TV film was better all together. With the exception that it was missing Dick Van Dyke and Paul Lynde. They were the only accretions.

The OBSESSION with age these days is beyond belief.

And it's always, "So-and-so is TOO OLD, TOO OLD, TOO OLD!"

We might as well be living in the dystopia of "Logan's Run"---or worse.
