[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's rather pointless replying to this thread, right? If you say you look 10+ years younger, you're delusional (despite your day of o day experiences). If you say you look your age, it's to be expected.

I think the bar has been raised over the past few decades. People nowadays wear sunscreen daily, don't smoke, rarely drink, exercise many times a week, eat veg, have skincare routines, use Botox and filler. There's a lot more knowledge on how to preserve one's looks easily available now. Weren't the Golden Girls in their late 40s and early 50s on that show? Most women in that age range look nothing like that.[/quote]

The actress that played Blanche was early 50s.  The other two were in their 60s (playing women in their 50s). [/quote]

Indeed, Rue McClanahan was 51, and the other three (Estelle Getty was the next youngest!) were 62-63, but it was stated or implied several times that Blanche was the youngest-- she was supposed to be so by several years. I don't think it was implied they were in their 50s, except for Blanche, who started the series by going into menopause.

That said, as much of a Golden Girls stan as I am, I admit their continuity was all over the place, lol, and there might have been an episode or two where they implied Blanche was closer in age to them (like 3-5 years vs 10). I mean-- Blanche says in some episodes she had 3 kids, in others, 4 or 5, with some names of kids mentioned only once... it's all over the place. But it was definitely repeatedly emphasized that Blanche not only looked younger, but was younger, than Dorothy and Rose.  [/quote]
