Sabrina LeBeauf was very youthful looking & she had a very upbeat personality.

It was still good casting for Cliff's father, and very believeable. With his white hair, he looked older. I'm just finding out for the first time that he was only 10 years older, and I'm surprised.

It wasn't a matter of "find an actor who can logically be my father"...it was what actor would make a believable father and who can I WORK WITH that won't cause me problems.

I always thought that that tidbit of info was interesting. What I thought was slightly more interesting was that in the sitcom "Gimme A Break!", the actress who played the Chief's mother in Season 2, Jane Dulo, was only two years older than Dolph Sweet (the Chief) in real life.

In the 1990s, John O'Hurley played Peter Barton's dad on Young & the Restless. O'Hurley is only one year older than Barton.
