I don't know Petkoff's age, but I'd be surprised if he were older than early forties. That said, he doesn't look out of place next to Barrett, Moniz, and O'Connor, who all look rather youthful.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I feel like the original script - which I know really well but my mind is failing me now - explicitly states that Phyllis is 49 as well.

It does--and O'Connor is 49.

Thanks, AC. I thought that was the case, but with the 6 zillion versions of the script there are now it's hard for me to remember what character facts come from which one (and which ones I've just invented and convinced myself are canon).

Interesting to note that the current version is now is the show's bible. Like ljay and others have said, this revision is the best of the many, but to me the original 1971 script is the show's bible.
