The age of the girls in August 1979

[FOL-FAN-ITA]

How old were the girls in the pilot episode? Wiki says:

Blair 14
Tootie 11
Natalie 12/13 (I remember she was 13 at the time Adoption aired)
Jo 15 (The New Girl)
Nancy 14 (same as Blair)
Sue Ann 14 (?)
Cindy 12/13 (?)
Molly 12/13 (?)



Andy 11 (?) in season 6
Pippa 15 (?) in season 9

Tootie is 12, Cindy is 14 (actual age of Julie Anne), Natalie was 13 (Same age as Mindy, though they had Natalie being born in September instead of May, so techically she would be 12). Blair was given know age, but was a sophmore, but not old enough to drive yet, so that would mean she was probably 15. Sue Ann and Nancy O. were in the same grade as Blair, so they probably were 15.

No age was given to Molly. Probably was 11 to 12 as Molly Ringwald was. Jo was probably 16 since that is the age you would have to be to drive any vehicle in NY at the time (I would know since I was that age then).

I think they did mention that Andy was 11 in his first appearance on the show.

They would be or close since they were the two preteens. Remember that Tootie was 12 years old for almost 3 years in earth time.

And, all of a sudden, the writers started to use Kim's real age

I don't know when they used Kim's real age. In the 3rd season (1981-82), Tootie was 13 while Kim was still 12.
