[quote=Anonymous]I'm an expressive person and used to perform on the stage, for two decades. I still look young for my age, in my 50s. It's genetic. My mom was not a performer but she also looked young until her early 60s, when the wrinkles really set in.

Also, many film actors are not expressive in a broad way. For dramatic film/TV work, subtle expression is valued, especially now. Think of an actor like Jon Hamm as Donald Draper, or Carey Mulligan. These are not broad actors. They have highly expressive eyes and the ability to subtly shift their facial expression in a way that communicate a lot in a close up

This is so different from the kind of work I did as a stage actor/dancer/performer, where you needed much broader expression and more physicality to express the same emotions.

So no, I would not expect that film/television stars age faster than the average population. In fact I would assume they would tend to be better looking than the average person and thus appear to age slower because of more generally youthful health appearance.[/quote]
