Have you noticed that some people look perpetually 50 or thereabouts no matter how young they were? For example:
Angela Lansbury
Fred Astaire
Elaine Stritch
Weird...

Posted: 11/15/06 at 4:45pmI was going to say Marie Dressler, but I didn't want to hear the chorus of "Who's that?"s coming from the peanut gallery.

Posted: 11/15/06 at 4:51pmMarie started off in Mack Sennett comedies I believe and was ready to take a housekeeping job when her career was revived in the 30s, winning an Oscar for MIN AND BILL (very sweet and funny tearjerker). She's also in EMMA and DINNER AT EIGHT.

Posted: 11/15/06 at 4:54pmShe has one of her best lines in Dinner at Eight where gold-digger Marylin Monroe observes that machines are taking jobs away from human beings and Marie eyes her from head to toe and remarks "Don't worry dear, they will never build a machine to do your job!"

Another chance for Edie McClurg love!
Even in "Carrie," when she was only about 26, it looked like she should have been playing the math teacher.

JoeKv99 --- Well, you're CLOSE but no cigar. It's Jean Harlow not Marilyn... and the dialogue is:
Kitty (Jean): I was reading a book the other day.
Carlotta (Marie): (doing a fabulous, staggering double-take) Reading a book?
Kitty: Yes. It's all about civilization or something, a nutty kind of a book. Do you know that the guy said that machinery is going to take the place of every profession?
Carlotta (eyeing Kitty in her glamorous gown from head to toe): Oh, my dear, that's something you need never worry about.

Look at the grooms in the Styles section on Sunday.
A guy will look 50 and the story says "The groom 28 is a so and so at this and that"
Nine out of ten look 15 yrs than their chronological age.
Now you have to wait for Sunday.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 11/15/06 at 6:27pmI've always thought that Sienna Miller looks really old, even when she was 20 she looked 35. But I guess that's not exactly what you guys are talking about, lol.
#19re: People Who Have Always Looked Old
Posted: 11/15/06 at 6:28pmSo 35 is "really old"?

Yeah it is. Just kidding, I don't even know what I'm typing anymore. F-ing Adderall. I just meant that when she was still practically a teen she looked a decade older, and parts of her body are really saggy which I think is weird for someone who's only 25 now.
Anyway...
