Actors who always had a mature/matronly look

[juniorz1]

Gosh I hope so. Never could stand MM as Belle!

[All My Shadows]

I've always thought P&G soaps made people look older. Maura West has already been mentioned, but also Marie Wilson, Michael Park, Jon Hensley, Grayson McCouch, Jennifer Landon, and others.

Martha Byrne

[Winchester91]

Susan Flannery?

[ChitHappens]

Kristen Lloyd (Dayzee, BB). She just seems 45!

[Gray Bunny]

Totally!

I feel like when she came back in the mid-90's she looked like she was suddenly in her mid-30's.

[Cheap21]

Marcy Walker

Debbie Morgan

Nancy Lee Grahan

[Khan]

I was gobsmacked to learn how old she was when she joined ALL MY CHILDREN, and how long she'd been in the business before then, working on shows like "What's Happening!!," "The White Shadow" and "Roots: the Next Generations."

Mark Collier and Terri Conn would be exceptions. They always made them look young. Same with Trent Dawson.

On the flip side, Jennifer Ferrin always looked older to me when on ATWT.

I think Martha still looked youthful when she was a little more slender and had longer hair. I'm not sure why she decided to go for shorter hair (maybe because she was having kids and it's easier to not deal with long hair), but it aged her.

Lee Lawson is someone else who looked old in her younger years.

[Winchester91]

Yeah, Noelle Beck is older, but I thought Lily was casted to be younger when she took over the role.

AMC had a habit of making Marcy look older in the 2000s. I remember in her farewell episode being astonished how GORGEOUS they made her look in the 90s.

But I agree that she's always looked older than her age. She was in her 20s on SB but always looked to be in her 30s to me.

Same with NLG. She's never looked young to me.

Debbi Morgan, on the other hand, I always think looks pretty......current.

[P.J.]

I think she looked younger with her golden-brown hair. It was only after Goutman forced the darker hues on her she suddenly looked old to me.

[DRW50]

I also didn't like the shapeless sundresses she began wearing...then this moved into boxy suits, and so on.

I'd put Kate Mulgrew and Nancy Addison in this list too. (mature looks, I mean)

[chicklitsandfantasies]

No mention of old looking Marcy Rylan?
