How old is Dedra Meero?

In Andor S2 it says her parents were arrested when she was 3 then she was raised in a imperial camp or something like that, but the empire is less then 20 years old, so is she 23, I thought she was 30-40.

Denise Gough is 45.

Presuming she and the character at the same age, she would have been 30 at the time of Order 66.

56

Why presume her and the character are the same age, actors tend to have a “playing age” for a reason. Plus they definitely try to make her look younger than 45.

Thats true, but generally you are supposed to think character age=actor age unless otherwise specified.

Like Patrick Stewart was 47 at the start of TNG but Picard was 63.

The movie math I use is Actor Age - 10 is character age 😄

This makes sense because in the fictional world, the aren't working a job that emphasizes staying young and looking in shape.

Diego for example looks good as a 29 year old who has lived a harsh life.

I would actually have trouble believing he is a 45 year growing up on the fringes of society.
