David's parents


David's parents were a little too old to be the parents of a teenage son. According to imdb Beatrice Straight who played his mother was 67 and Richard Kiley who played his father was 59. They probably should have chosen younger actors to portray his parents so it would have been more realistic.

Yes, I noticed that, too. Especially his mother. She looked more like his grandmother.
