Angela Lansbury was 35 when this was filmed, the character or Raymond Shaw was 32 pretty amazing because it seemed she was in her 40 or 50s
shareShe always had a older look to her, but also the way they dressed her. From what I recall they were planning on using makeup to age her but Lansbury objected.
shareYes, her neck and forehead didn't make her any favour. I know 50 years old women who look better, at least in those areas. Genetics is difficult to beat. Plus, both surgery and botox result in a striking frozen face.
shareHoly crap, I just watched the movie and thought, my, she looks something like mid to end 50s - and she was 35??? WTFF? No wonder you were considered "old" when you reached 50...
shareShe's 12 years older than Warren Beatty, whose mother she played in All Fall Down. She always had a touch of the matron about her.
shareIn "The Vikings", Kirk Douglas was older than his "father", Ernest Borgnine.
shareThat's why they call it acting! ;-)
