Shelby’s age

I watched Hart of dixie at least 5-6 times. up until now I always thought Shelby was much younger than Brick but at least 10 years older than Lemon. I decided to google it. Turns out the actress playing Shelby is slightly younger than the actress playing Lemon. This is shocking to me, I cannot be the only one!

Shelby looks great, but she does look older than Lemon! I thought Shelby was maybe like late 30s

I think Brick makes a comment about dating a woman (Shelby) the same age as his daughter (Lemon).

I just knew of the actress from broadway and I always assumed she was older. I was actually surprised that she played Elle in legally blonde on stage because of it. She had a little love scandal in the theater world that I kinda remember too

I always felt they were the same age since she was dating George in that episode. But she does give off older energy.

I remember her playing teenage Mara Shayne Lewis, Josh and Reva’s daughter, on Guiding Light. She took over from Kimberly J. Brown. She was also Uncle Joey’s wife in Fuller House!

I always felt that Shelby looked older because she kind of looks like she’s had a lot of plastic surgery? So while she doesn’t look old she looks like someone who is trying to not look old. I don’t even know if she actually has, she just gives off that vibe somehow lol
