The Ages of the Characters

i think the ages of the characters is kind of important, because obviously hoffman is older than street. Street, when she was shooting the movie, was 29,. so that leads you to believe that she's 21, 22, 23, when she had a kid. Yes, that's young. That's real young. And one of the things that start so radically changed in the eighties and nineties too, as people are starting to wait a long time to have children.
