Guy in the picture is 23 btw
Woman in picture is 15, probably.
More like 40 and 30.
You made me look it up since it looked crazy. Im guessing its Lloyd Bridges as everyone here keeps asking? If so the earliest film credits i see would put him at 28. Kind of glad this is not true, i knew old ppl looked old but this one just scared me!
This is what happens to people when they don't live with their parents until they are 30.
Best stay home, look after the collectibles (jeez, they're not toys mum!) for as long as possible, just to be safe.
Pretty sure it was all the cigarette smoke prematurely aging people
Lloyd Bridges is 40 in this picture. He was born in 1913 and this is from a 1953 film... Mostly what makes him look old here is his haircut.
And the alcohol, and the dehydration, and the stress, and the malnutrition, and the smog, and the chemicals before environmental law caught up.
But the stress really got to them
buncha wars too.
Also lack of sunscreen. For men, general lack of self care altogether. Not like it was better for women because cosmetics were literally toxic and, well, solely cosmetic. We're aware of so many more harms now and have the knowledge and means to avoid them in a way we really haven't before.. It's so dramatic and encompassing it's tough to overstate
All the lead didn't help. And the playing with mercury in school. Actually, there was lead involved there, too, as I remember my dad telling me about how they'd put a piece of lead in their cup of mercury to see that it floated.
Also had a science teacher clarify that it was mercury oxide that made playing with mercury so dangerous, with the anecdote of knowing someone who tried to commit suicide by drinking a large amount of mercury, but then only ended up with the shits (and probably a few less IQ points from the mercury oxide vapours he would have inhaled while drinking it).
Edit: oh, also the wars probably helped age people faster and no idea when this was filmed but he could have fought in either war and started acting after.
10 years ago I watched the movie Lovelace starring Amanda Seyfried about the porno, Deep Throat. I'd never seen the original so after watching the movie I looked it up. The real Linda Lovelace looked like she was at least in her mid-30s but she was about 23.
Cigarettes will do that to a person
Is that Lloyd Bridges?
Surely you mean Izzy Mandelbaum?
Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum!
