Results: Did people really look older in the past?
I remember growing up and seeing old yearbook photos and thinking, these people can't be teenagers? Or seeing movies or tv of the past and wondering what age the actors really were that were playing teens. Some think it has a lot do with the clothing, hairstyles and makeup. What do you think?

I remember watching the Golden Girls when i was young thinking that these women must be very old. They were compared to my age at the time, but not really that old overall. Do you think if they had an more updated style people would have perceived them as much younger?
