An interesting fact about the circumstances of Holbrook's hiring is that she was picked not only for her dramatic aptitude, but also for her ability to look much older than she was; the character of Sharlene was a plain farm girl and Holbrook proved she could act in the appropriate manner. She was subsequently paired with an actor on the program, David Forsyth, who was nine years older than she was. The first actress to play her daughter on the show, Alexandra Wilson, was only twelve years younger than Holbrook herself.
