[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One more quibble - young Kirsten was very clearly NOT 8 yrs. old.  She was far too mature to play that young.  They changed a lot about the book - they should have changed her age to about ten when she first meets Jeevan.[/quote]

It doesn't really matter. The actress was 12 in the pilot then 14 in the subsequent episodes. [/quote]

It actually does matter when they keep stating that she's 8, then 9, and she's clearly far older than that.[/quote]

Except they didn't keep stating it.  You're making that up.[/quote]

No, hon - I'm not.  Javeen mentions her age several times in the show.  When they first meet, he asks her how old she is and she replies, "Eight."  During their quarantine in Frank's apartment, she turns 9.  This is all stated.  But do go on.  Here are some reviews/summaries of the HBO series.

"It begins with a play: On a wintry night in Chicago, the movie star Arthur Leander (Gael García Bernal) collapses and dies onstage while playing King Lear. The ensuing chaos brings together Jeevan Chaudhary (Himesh Patel), an underemployed writer in the audience, with Kirsten Raymonde (Matilda Lawler), an [b]8-year-old actress[/b] playing one of Lear’s daughters as a child."

Also in the “Lear” cast is [b]an 8-year-old, Kirsten Raymonde[/b], whom Arthur had given a comic book called “Station Eleven,” made by his ex-wife Miranda, that will become a talisman for Kirsten in the post-flu years.
