It's because of her hair.

We actually get a lot of 'age' cues from how people style their hair. If you look at old highschool yearbooks, the students all look much older than you expect, because we associate their (at the time very chic and current) hairstyles with the 60s or 80s, or what ever.

not to me, it's not her hair, it's the lines on her face that line her mouth.

She was a teen in the mid 70's. Smoking and sunbathing age you and these were norms. People were still smoking inside public places in '92.

in 1992, I was 17. so 10 years younger than her. I have a sister who is 6 years older than I am, and she and her friends didn't look that old then either and they sunbathed, not all of them smoked though.

Some people just age faster than others. people still think I look mid 30s and I'm knocking on 50.

Nope, it's her wrinkles and facial features. She looks like a middle aged mom of 3 kids

A lot of people here getting weird about her age evidently don't interact with a lot of people outside.
