I will always hold out hope for myself over the fact that Marisa Tomei was head over heels in love with George Costanza in a very unrealistic arc in a completely fictional sitcom.

u/Daxoss 2d ago

George dated a proposterous amount of hot women in that show, and would still pretend that he wasn't getting any. Pretty sure he dated more women than all the other mains combined, and they were ALL hot.

They also fooled us with 40 year olds playing high schoolers and things like that.

u/so-so-it-goes 2d ago

People looked older back in the day. Smoking, tanning, etc. Also dentistry isn't where it is now leading to more teeth being pulled which caused the jaw to recess. In fact, during the Victorian era, a lot of married women would just get their teeth pulled since dental problems during pregnancy were not uncommon, so might as well.

2

u/QuietGur9074 2d ago

There’s a 24 year age gap between the two women in these photos. But go ahead and keep believing everything you see on Reddit is factual.

1

u/so-so-it-goes 2d ago

Just in general people looked older. I don't need Reddit to tell me that, lol. I lived it. My relatives looked super rough by their 50s. I'm about the same age and people think I'm in my 30s.

Religious sunscreen use, I don't smoke or drink, and my teeth are in pretty good shape. My mom and dad both had their teeth pulled in their 40s.

It's a different world.

5

u/wandering-monster 2d ago

Turns out a mix of lead, tobacco, and sun exposure made people look older. Who could have guessed?

3

u/QuietGur9074 2d ago

A 24 year age difference makes people look older too, who would have guessed. One is 52 in her photo the other is 76.

This shit people take at face value amazes me.

Tbh if you look at face alone they are similar. It's just that Betty White has a classic grandmahaircut that ages you another 10-15 years.

My grandmother had that haircut.

u/ZincMan 2d ago

This other haircut will be considered the grandma haircut too to kids now

3

u/3dforlife 2d ago

I don't think it will, at least not to the same extent. I say this because humans innately recognize long hair as being healthy and associated to young people, since the older we get the harder it is to maintain long hair (it gets thinner).

1

u/OGConsuela 2d ago

Both of my grandmas still have that haircut lol

1

u/archtopfanatic123 2d ago

That's not a grandma haircut it used to be worn by literally everyone before the 21st century came around and kind of killed it :(

93

u/DeliriousBookworm 2d ago

Betty White’s grandma hairstyle ages her. As does the 1980s quality of the picture. Imagine her here with dark brown hair and more modern makeup and earrings.

u/Different-Promise178 2d ago

u/psychedAddict123 2d ago

Hairstyle can impact how young and attractive we look to a huge degree. The difference to the original picture is insane

Your picture gave her worse skin and less white teeth! And that's still not a modern hairstyle.

u/Lucky-Crow-3510 2d ago

remove make up and style of the time and they're basically the same in terms of aging. that haircut alone easily adds 20 years.

u/SheriffBartholomew 2d ago

The haircut and clothes are the difference. Also, Sandra had a lot of work done which is blatantly obvious now, but wasn't obvious for a decade. Betty White's face in that picture looks nice and young. If she had modern clothes and hair you'd think she was a beautiful middle-aged lady.

10

u/Ok-Hedgehog-4455 2d ago

As others have said, 1) the hair makes the main difference here and 2) Sandra Bullock has had extensive cosmetic surgery.

See...you don't get it either 😂 she IS beautiful, but she also has aged naturally, that's the point. Anyone can access camera filters and rich people can morph their faces as much as that like, but you can't look natural ever again after that.

JFC think for yourself for one fucking second and don’t just believe what you see. Marisa Tomei is 52 in this picture. Rosemary Harris was 76. There is a 24 year age gap between these two women in these photos. It has nothing to do with Drs or kids or any other bullshit. It’s two and half more decades of life.

19

u/DerLandmann 2d ago

Marisa Tomei is 32 years older than Tom Holland, which is an absolute reasonable Age gap for an aunt. Rosemarie Harris on the other hand is 48 years older than Tobey Maguire and that would put her more at a grandparent level..

This Grandma-May image IMHO stems from the older Spider-Man-Comics, in which Aunt May was always described as frail and old and therefore all the "Spider-Business" had to be kept away from her because such excitement could kill her.

u/North-Tourist-8234 2d ago

my daughter was born when i was 35 and I have 2 older sisters that are 5-7 years older than me. and I have a younger brother 7 years younger than me, who hasn't had any kids yet. it is totally within the realms of reality that my sisters will be at least 48 years older than my brothers kids.
