LET DONNA GRADUATE (SHE'S DAMN NEAR 40): The LA Times wants to know -- who are the oldest teens in pop culture history? For instance, they note:
Henry Winkler in "Happy Days"
Henry Winkler, who played the iconic greaser Arthur "Fonzie" Fonazarelli was 29 when "Happy Days" first aired in 1974. Fonzie was said to be a high school drop out, so his age was never clear, but a decent guess is somewhere between 18 and 19 in those early seasons.

Alan Ruck in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"
Cameron Frye, the uptight best friend of Matthew Broderick's Ferris Bueller was in his senior year of high school, but Alan Ruck, the actor who played him, was 30 years old when the duo ditched a day of school.

Gabrielle Carteris in "Beverly Hills, 90210"

Andrea Zuckerman-Vasquez was the editor of the high school newspaper, anxious grade grubber and madly in love with Brandon Walsh. The actress Gabrielle Carteris was 29 when the show first aired.
Anyone care to add to the list?
