looks can be deceiving. regardless, she is a wonderful actress. i absolutely admired her role as narcissa, no one could pull it off better then her. i wouldn't worry about her age or how old she looks.

bellatrix lestrange - gotta love her

I agree! I was just watching an epi of "Life" and to me she looked late 40s at least. I'm only a few years younger than her but look at least a decade younger than she does!

But I must say she does have one good thing going for her - Damian Lewis! So I'm sure doesn't mind that she looks 10 years older than she is! :)

Some women age better than others, one of my best friends mom is in her early 60's.... and she looks no older than 30. Then take my other friend, she is just now 39 but looks 49

I agree, it's not unusual for actresses to lie about their age and no way is she early 40's. I suspect the ten year rule is at play here.... she was probably born in 1958, not 1968. The ten year rule works because it is easier to quickly calulate the year you graduated high school, college, etc. Simply add ten years from the actual date!!

The reason why she looks older is because of her hair. When she has her hair like in the HP films she looks pretty young.

"You know, dead people aren't the ones to be scared of, living people are."

I honestly thought she was older than me, she looks 15 years older than me. Maybe it's just genetics. She's a great actress but I really couldn't believe she's, what, 47 now?
