Recently watched The Seven Year Itch (1955) and the man claims to be 37. He looks like a young 50. Cigarettes.

    Just watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Nicholson was 38 during filming. I thought he looked 50 too.

    Recently did a watch of Rear Window (1954), and yeah, there's a scene in the beginning where the main character's nurse calls the main character "young man". Main character (Jimmy Stewart?) was 46 at the film's release.

    Wild.

    That's called acting. ::smug face::

    They cast people younger and older than their character role because the actor's age is secondary to they're ability to play the character. ::smugger face::

    Just uh ... don't look too much into what roles John Wayne and others played when it came to race, back then. They uhhhhh...had different standards back then. It was a different time, you see. It wasn't...it uh...it wasn't looked at the same way back then. Ok gtg byeeeee

    When I was a kid, restaurants still smelled like tobacco.

    Didn't really stop until early 2000's

    I remember this on older busses and coaches as a child, and the ashtrays on the back of seats. Mustve been wack in the 1990s with how much indoor smoking was still accepted.
