In a world where dancing and rock music are banned, apparently there are also 12 year-old fathers. In reality, John Lithgow, who played Reverend Shaw Moore, is only just over a decade older than his on-screen teenage daughter Ariel, played by Lori Singer.
In the film, Singer was portraying a high school student, though she was 27, and Lithgow played her father, who was 39 at the time.
