I think I was born the year after the Graduate came out, but I'd guess 36. She didn't look old enough to have a daughter that age. But this is coming from someone who only knows The graduate from scenes lifted and parodied in other films.

I thought Bancroft was in her forties; she looked ancient.

For me too, Liz. I'm going to be 37 this year. That feels very weird to say. In my head it doesn't seem possible I got any older than 25.

I felt old a little while back when I was watching When Harry Met Sally and realized, during the scene when she bursts into tears with a "I'm going to be thirty...Someday!" that I was not only older than her character, I was older than the actress herself at the time she filmed the movie.

*shudder*

You know, 35 was way harder for me than 40. In the visual timeline in my head, I could never see past 35 or 36 when I was younger.

(I really hope other people have visual timelines in their head, by the way)

Uh...I thought she said 40. I'm *really* going to feel old if she said 30.

I am not sure exactly, but I think I remember them saying that Dustin hoffman was 31 when he played that role, only a few years younger than Mrs. R.

I probably mentioned something in my intro post, but it's not something I mention much, at least not here. We've been living apart for over 2 years, he made one very feeble attempt at getting on my good side (took me to dinner and a movie one night) but refuses to talk to me or anything else. Ah well, his loss.
