Star of hit 90s TV series has barely aged a day – 21 years since show ended
NOUGHTIES telly fans won’t believe their eyes as one star from the era has appeared to age backwards.
Mary-Margaret Humes, 70, is best known for playing Gail Leery in the iconic teen drama Dawson’s Creek.
The actress looks almost identical to when the show wrapped up over two decades ago.
In a recent Instagram post, Mary-Margaret showcased her timeless beauty while on a winery tour with some of her former co-stars.
The TV personality could be seen grinning for the cameras as she posed with a glass of red.
Another video saw her taking to a Hollywood trail on horseback with good friend James Parker-Pettit.
The active lady captioned the clip: “Thanks for a fun morning trail ride and the behind the scenes tour … you guys are awesome!!”
One fan commented: “Yee-haw!! Howdy Mrs. Leery! You are still beautiful and you only look 40!”
Mary-Margaret, who was born in Florida, was 44 when Dawson’s Creek first aired in 1998.
Gail was a central character in the series, and often seen as the moral compass and emotional support for her son Dawson, played by James Van Der Beek.
Fans watched as Gail navigated personal challenges, including a tumultuous marriage with Mitch Leery and a career as a news anchor.
During the drama’s six-year run, she became a favorite among viewers.
Since Dawson’s Creek ended, Mary-Margaret has continued to act, and appeared in several TV shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Criminal Minds.
In 2020 she virtually reunited with her Dawson’s Creek co-stars to support a campaign encouraging voter participation in the Presidential Election in America.
