Mae Whitman on being your Y2K dream girl

"I stopped developing in 1999," admits Mae Whitman. It's a surprising statement for a 34-year-old to make, but "I'm such a '90s fanatic," she said on "Salon Talks." "I'm going to just keep wearing these clothes and listening to this music."

After spending a lifetime in front of the camera as a child star in films like "Independence Day," a teen actor in "Arrested Development" and "The DUFF," and later in series like "Parenthood" and "Good Girls," Whitman has finally arrived exactly where she knows she's always belonged — the New York City of Carrie Bradshaw. As the star of Hulu's romantic series "Up Here," Whitman sings, dances and falls in love with "The Flash" actor Carlos Valdes in a Y2K Manhattan, albeit one that's a little more Coldwater Creek than Manolo Blahnik.
