When my wife and I watch movies/TV shows that we grew up watching we often wonder how old the “older” people were in the shows. FWIW, I am 56 y/o. Here are a couple examples, Magnum PI aired 1980-1988 John Hillerman “Higgins” was 56 y/o in 1988. Sixteen Candles released 1984 Paul Dooley, the dad was 56 y/o.

When did this happen? How did this happen? 🤯
