Maggie Gyllenhaal

^ She looked younger than her age until 2013 then she got wrinkly

Maggie Gyllenhaal is a good one. She has those big innocent eyes but her face has always been so wizened.

He husband aged suddenly too

Her*

Beyonce

Kurt Russell, Susan Hayward, Michelle Williams, Daniel Day Lewis, Karen Black, Joe Pesci

Beulah Bondi. The actress who played her daughter in "Make Way For Tomorrow" was actually older than her.

Edward James Olmos, Oprah Winfrey has always looked middle aged.

Eugene Levy

Jennifer Lawrence

Omar Shariff, Orson Welles, Lauren Bacall, Frances McDormand

Dakota Fanning

Jimmy Durante

Character actor Burt Mustin

Whoever thinks that Laverne Cox is 33 has a vision problem

Walter Matthau

Jerry Orbach

Carroll O'Connor

That diabetic Quaker oatmeal guy. Can't think of his name

Wilford Brimley, R52. But he was never even famous until he was old(er).

ELLEN CORBY, best remembered for playing Grandma Walton. She always looked OLD. Below is ELLEN at age 32 from when she had a small part in IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.

Hume Cronyn at age 31:

Character actor Fred Clark was another who looked old even when young. Shown below with Betty Grable from HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE, Fred was all of 38 when he made this. He looks 58.

He doesn't look it now but when he was young, ERIC BRAEDEN shown here from 1965 at age 24 looked far older than he was>

Character actor Charles Lane who lived to be 102 always looked like he was pushing 70.

KELT is the oldest and MOST racist poster on DATALOUNGE. He looks 83 but he's only 71.

R59

88 if he's aday

Brimley was only 50 when he appeared as one of the seniors in "Cocoon." His fellow male geriatrics were in their 70s.

Angry lesbians tend to look way older than they are too.

Tracy and Hepburn.

Jeremy piven

David Janssen. I was surprised to see that he was 32 when "The Fugitive" first aired.

Kurt Russell in The One and Only Genuine Original Family Band which is why the Giggly Girl started going with him when she should have been taking a motherly concern in him..

I think Harry Dean Stanton might actually be a WW2 veteran. He was already middle aged in that shot from 1966 at R33.

Hal Holbrook

I was going to mention Sam Waterston because he's mostly known for "Law & Order" and other productions he's made in his older years, but looking up photos, he was actually very hunky in his youth and starting out in his acting career.

Mary-Kate but not Ashley Olsen

Young Max looks surprisingly like Paul Bettany.

[quote]Kurt Russell,

Whaaat?

Patrick Stewart. He was old looking in Excaliber.

Robert Ryan

R2, check out Mel Gibson in his earliest films, such a baby face. Even in Mad Max (the first one). They had to scruff him up for the Road Warrior.

Also Maggie G has the same issue as Swoozie Kurtz, "marionette" lines from nose to corners of mouth. Always makes you look older. As character actresses I guess they didn't feel it necessary to fix this with plastic surgery.

Lee Marvin, sort of.

r70

Which one was the abortion?

Soap star Erika Slezak always looked old and very matronly.

DL Fave Abe Vigoda.

Sylvia Miles. This is the youngest picture of her I can find. I'm guessing from the 50s because she looked way older by the 60s.

Meryl

Sam Waterston is very youthful and totally swoonworthy in Much Ado which at least in part is on youtube.

I don't believe a better and more attractive Benedict is seen on video or film.

Walther Matthau

Spencer Tracy

Tom Ewell

William Holden

James Cromwell

Morgan Freeman

Doris Roberts

Ellen Corby

Tommy Lee Jones

Michael Caine

Patrick Stewart

Richard Burton

Maggie Smith

Bea Arthur

Kathy Bates

Harry Dean Stanton

Judi Dench

Irish actor and Beckett specialist Patrick Magee. He was born in 1922 and is only 41 in the linked photo from "Dementia 13" where he was only just over 40 when it was filmed in 1963. He looks well over sixty.

Oh, come on. When Mel Gibson and Clint Eastwood were young they looked young. And they both looked damn fine, too.

Sam Jaffe.

Laura Benanti. No way that bitch isn't pushing 50.

R84 Judi Dench

Back in the day she was Zeffirelli's Juliet in his famous stage production of R and J so she had to be young looking

All those actors playing parents in old sitcoms still look old to me even though I'm approaching the same age. Was their casting deliberate, or is it the case where if you see something as a kid you can't unsee it? Anyone else feel this way?

R19, everyone should look so old--and gorgeous --as Peter O'Toole in that shot.

Robert Young (ironically).

William Powell

Robert Young and Ray Milland always looked old.

R92 As a 76-year-old man he looked well in Tudors. He died 5 years after this.

And if he hadn't spent three quarters of his life drinking he would have turned into a distinguished mature man like Cary Grant.

R92, Peter O'Toole was no doubt strikingly handsome but he definitely looked well older than he was in Lawrence of Arabia. A lot of people in this thread are British and Northern European, which is no mere coincidence.

Kevin Spacey

Walt Disney He died at 66 and looked ancient!

Peggy Cass

Disney was a huge smoker and an obsessed never satisfied man. This is going to age you big time.

Amazing he lived to 66 and with the cultural changes just happening he died just in time. December of '66. Perfect timing.

Some, Some, Some, Some, Some, Young, , Young, Young, Young, Young. Still. Still. Still. Still. Still. Bitches. Bitches. Bitches. Birches. Bitches. Jealous? Jealous? Jealous? Jealous? Jealous? LOLLOLLOLLOLLOL!!!!!

R95, take a look at Milland and Young in the 1930s movies. For example, Milland in "Easy Living"--young, and gorgeous.

Robert Mitchum

Jennifer Aniston

Helen Mirren

Susan Sarandon

Jennifer Lwrence

Margot Robbie

Cate Blanchett

Naomi Watts

Maureen Stapleton. Here she is in Wild is the Wind with Brando. She's 32 yo, he's 33.

Derek Jacobi

Randy Quaid was born with Grandpa face.

Jackie Burroughs. Played Olympia Dukakis' mother in 'Further Tales of the City' but was actually 8 years younger than her.

Constance Ford

Nicol Williamson

David McCallum

Bob Newhart

Hugh Grant

James Caan

The Olsen twins look like fucking shit.

Walter Matthau always looked old. Some of you are spot on, some of you are nuts.

r67, ok but how is he still alive? If he was 40 in 66, he'd be 90-ish now. Is he 90? How is he still walking around and acting on the new Twin Peaks and, as far as I know, still hanging out at clubs on the Strip, playing with his band, picking up starfuckers and doing blow? Maybe he's eternal.

HDS is 91.

I just found this Harry Dean Stanton Festival:

Lorne Greene

You're an idiot r 110. Look up David McCallum in The Great Escape.

Kate Winslet

Always fat and old

Jacqueline Bisset

George Michael's family blasts 'sensationalist' TV docu-drama about the late singer's life after Greek actor who plays his Lebanese lover Fadi Fawaz boasts of his starring role

Buddy Ebsen.

Ian McKellen

Glenn Close

William Frawley

Soap star Erika Slezak always looked old and very matronly.

Genetics obviously. Her father Walter also looked older than he was, and maybe a bit matronly too.

Thanks for making me look him up, r102. Whoever knew Ray Milland once looked like THAT.

Michael Caine

Patrick Stewart

....

George Clooney

Christopher Lee

Rachel Bloom is 29 and looks past 40. Very matronly she is.

Walter Brennan

Whoopi Goldberg

Samuel L Jackson

Keith fucking Richards

Ed Harris

Morgan Freeman

Great list. I think we are all looking at people with what I would call "personality". They're very recognizable.

Barbara Bush

Christopher Lee

Steve Martin

Kathleen Noone once joked that she was "born 40". Here she is a very mature looking 17 year old high school student.

Her character on All My Children, Ellen, was several years older than she was in real life.

She never aged all that much after she actually hit middle age. She looked better really in the 1990s than in the 1970s.

Rebecca Wisocky is another example. People on IMDb in the past made comments they couldn't believe she was only in her 40s.

Her birthdate was correct though. She was very mature looking as a High School senior in 1990.

Some people just always look mature. It's not always necessarily a bad thing.

Anne Ramsey was only 59 when she died.

147 replies and no mention of me ?

R96

The older he became, the more O'Toole looked like 1/3 of the old queens one sees in Palm Desert.

Holy shit r147 she looked 70 something. Possibly a drinker ?

R105. Neither Marlon Brando nor Maureen Stapleton were in Wild is the Wind. Are you thinking of The Fuggitive Kind, perhaps?

Fugitive, that would be.

Toni Collette

Burt Mustin

Emma Wtson

German actress Nina Hoss is only 42 and has looked 50 for years.

Maggie didn't look young for her age, especially when she was in her twenties.

Jezza Renner

Amy Adams

Céline Dionne

Dionne Warwick

Aretha

Edward G Robinson

Thelma Ritter

Kidman

Eddie Redmayne

Edward G. Robinson

Jackie Cooper owns this thread. Just google images of him if you are unfamiliar with who he was. As a kid he already had the face of a 40 year old.

Ruth Gordon

I always thought Ruth Gordon was Jewish and shocked to find out she wasn't.

Michael J. Pollard and Burt Young always looked 10-20 years older.

William Schallert owns this thread.

Sidney Poitier

Carroll O'Conner- He looked 63 when All In The Family premiered but he was only in his late 40's.

Lynne Thigpen

R168 that’s a subject for another thread.
