I was right, but it does rather prove the value of not being painfully thin, if you think the appearance of youth is of value...

I mostly got surprised when I noticed Black's age. She's a year younger than [livejournal.com profile] jennyaxe, but looks way older. To me, at least.

Yes, I thought, bloody hell, she's four years older than me! But then, thinness is very unforgiving of the signs of aging - once your skin isn't itself elastic, fat under it can make it look like it is, I think.

INteresting. I thought Claudia Black's hands looked old - maybe it was just the way she was holding them, but they seemed very boney.

I cheated. I knew who was older so I just said, because I couldn't view the results without voting (or I couldn't find a way of viewing the results without voting, being dim sometimes, and I was curious *g*) So you should probably take off my vote.

That said, I do think that the older one looks young for her age, and the younger one looks older than she is (possibly due to cimate? more sun exposure?) She's four years younger than me and she has more lines than me (I don't get a lot of sun where I live :-))

I just wanted to know if I was the only one to seriously overestimate Black's age.

And you can click where it says "Poll #1234356" and get the option to see the results. And change your vote, if you got it wrong.

Thank you, I've done that, because to be honest when I first saw CB I did think she was older. So I've undone my "cheat" :-)

It's a bit of an unfair comparison as hands are notorious for gaining visible age quicker than the rest of the body.

Actually, Black is looking unusually good in that picture. She usually looks older on the show. I mean, I've seen her for two and a half seasons on SG1 now and I still thought she was about the same age as Tapping.

What's your source for the 1972 figure? She would not reveal it for a good while around the time of _Pitch Black_; it could easily be misinformation, as John Schneider and Elizabeth Monthgomery purported ages were.
