Jean Arthur's age
She was 43 when this movie came out! I thought she was an ingenue in her 20s. She seemed so youthful. I never would have guessed she was in her 40s.
shareYes, she was amazingly youthful-looking. And it's ironic that, in the movie, she refers to her fiance Mr. Pendergast as an "older man" of 42. Who would've guessed that this was Jean Arthur's actual age at the time?
P.S. More irony: the actor playing Pendergast was in his late 30s, younger than Miss Arthur!
