So, thats his MUM-but then again...


...thats why I came here to say, 'how can this be his Mum, there's like, only 10 years between them.!"
Then I googled Barbara Hershey..
She was born in 48, and was 62 when they made this movie. wow.

hey, thought this was quite creepy but trailed at the end, too much like a certain S.S. film from 82

She still looks great, & I think it's because she hasn't had TOO much work done. She's clearly had some, but if she keeps it to a minimum she'll be working a lot longer than most other actresses her age.

Barbara Hershey was the first known actress to have had collagen lip filler work. She did it for her 1988 Beaches movie to make her look younger for the role. It's good she knew when to quit and doesn't seem to have had much work done thereafter.

Yes, exactly. She does't need it; she's a stunner!

reply

Yeah I thought she was sexy as hell.

I kind of was thrown by that. Theres no need at all to have a "hot" grandmom in this. It serves no purpose. They would have benefited more having her be more traditionally grandmotherly. Or at least more grey and wrinkly.

reply

It's refreshing to have films that don't use formulas, because hot grandmothers actually exist - they are a known phenomenon! There's a reason director's won't go down the realism route and it's because of idiots who would post things like "Why did that guy pee there? What did it show?" or "The main dude coughed in that scene, the director should have cut that!"

We already had one regular looking old woman (Elise) and one creepy old woman (Old Woman entity). Why not have the third be a gmilf?

Thit and thpin!

According to IMDB, Patrick Wilson was born in 1973. That's a 25 year age gap.
