Is it the smoking that really did a number on her face?
I am watching Harper (and trying to stay awake for the whole thing). I would have guessed she was 55+ in this movie. Not the 41-12 her IMDB DOB would seem to suggest.

shareLauren Bacall quit smoking in 1980,smoking doesn't age people the way the media would like you to believe,take a look at the late Loretta Young she smoked for 67 years and her skin was flawless without any help from plastic surgery ,Lauren Bacall was 89 years old and looked damn good almost to end and did it without plastic surgery her last Film http://www.rcshield.com/2014/04/the-forger-2012-a-movie-review/ ' .May she Rest in Peace ...
shareThanks for the information. Interesting.
Do agree that the facial wrinkles in Harper make her look closer to 55+ not the age her IMDB DOB would suggest (41-42 (depending on when it was actually filmed)).
Those wrinkles were part of her beautie as the semi-androginal face she had. Same than Anne Bancroft. And remeber that she was jewish.
shareNah. It was probably the sourpuss personality.

You're joking, right? You'd have to be pretty naïve to believe that.

I thought she was still very sexy in that movie.
When Harper was on television, I had showed my mother "Look! My favorite actress is on!", and my mom was surprised that she was into her 40s and not YOUNGER.
Care to judge again?

This was still before the significant mouth drop.
