That’s a rough-looking 49, Nora. I guess she’s had an aging ten years (which I just discovered was the intended time frame). I mean, she was supposedly blasted with a bunch of radiation. Plus, Australia is a sunny place.
Based on the story line, I was guessing the character was supposed to be somewhere in her early-50s, but really looked more like an earthy, fit late-50s who was aging well.

When I was 30, I thought I had everything sussed out. I thought I knew everything. Then I hit 40, and I looked back at 30 and thought, ‘What a clown. I knew nothing.’ I thought I was ancient at 40, but now I’m 50 and I realize I was really just a young woman.

The Cut is currently doing a series “Wrinkles in Time” about aging. Only four posts so far, and it seems to be written by fashion editors, but I’m glad someone’s doing it.

Catastrophic
I love Sharon Horgan (I have a short forehead too) and the first season of Catastrophe. I could suspend my disbelief (and horror) that a 40-year-old character could get pregnant on a fling, but I’m having a harder time now that the show jumped three years and character Sharon (43)/actor Sharon (46) has a newborn. Like would you have any eggs left?
Ok, yes, it’s a comedy not a documentary.

Once people turn a certain age, that gets completely ignored by writers, and it’s a shame. I’ve always been a very sexual person. That doesn’t mean I’m going around feeling my breasts and pressing myself against men, but I’m a sexual being. I’m 85, and I’m still a sexual being, or a sensual being. And that appealed to them, and of course the audience loves that. Including, by the way, the younger people because I think unconsciously they see there’s hope that it doesn’t all suddenly go away, your ovaries just turn to dust overnight simply because you can longer conceive.
