Exhibit A: Margot Robbie

(article from 2008) "The fresh crop of Neighbours actors was in Sydney yesterday. One of the newest, Margot Robbie, had her first appearance on air on Monday, playing a groupie with stalker tendencies. The 23-year-old actress from the Gold Coast opted to attend a Sex And The City: The Movie screening instead of staying home to watch the episode."

Rebel Wilson successfully sued a paper for calling her out. I’ve actually heard women say that IMDB should not list women’s ages because it limits their opportunities in Hollywood. Not very feminist of them IMO.

R41 The problem is...casting directors filter out people based on age (and other things obviously).

You won't get in the door if your age don't match your face, no matter how young you look for your age. They will either think your headshot is photoshopped to look younger or that it's an old pic.

Then we have misogynistic culture and ageism in our society where once these assholes find out your real age, even when you look younger, they will mock you and insult you becaue they're angry you "tricked them" into fapping to your old ass and they will never make you forget your age.

It doesn't matter if your skin looks like butter and your body is tight like a 22 year old strippers ass (thanks, goop), they still will have no mercy on you.

*there are exceptions, like if you are a WOC they won't care because it's expected. Real life example would be halle berry* no one really mentions wocs ages, they kind of float around ageless. Their ages aren't made a big deal.

I don't know if you'd consider him a celebrity, but I graduated high school with Slade Smiley, who is on some stupid Housewife program. I heard two people bitching about a guy named Slade when I was in Kansas City, and it's such a rare name I said I knew a Slade - and turns out it's him. He was 2 years behind me (I graduated 1986, he graduated 1988) but he was miraculously like 15 years younger in his IMDB profile. Nice to know that he's as big a douche now as he was in high school.

This thread reminded me of a D-Lister who lies about his age. Anyone remember Bobby Trendy from the Anna Nicole Show? I know someone who went to school with him and he (Bobby) has not only ridiculously lied about his entire past (where he was born, where he grew up, what his real name is (even the real name he gives himself is fake), etc). He keeps changing his age on his Wikipedia page by almost 15 years.

Someone kept changing it back to the "right" age, which was still 10 years off and the comment was hilarious, "If he was born in 1988 it would have made him 14 years old when he appeared on the Anna Nicole Show..." he can't even do the math himself... but he still changed it back to 1988 anyway!

This name will mean nothing to anyone younger than a Boomer(like me,) but the CEO, Emeritus of the age changing trend is/was Victoria Principal. For the baby gays here, she was the one who took Tony Perkins's hetero-virginity and she was a big wheel in the original Dallas. I first saw her in "The Life and Times Of Judge Roy Bean" when I was in high school in the 70s. While I have no proof of this, I would have taken her for 24-26. So that would have put her at 8-10 years older than I. When she broke big on Dallas, miraculously she had become 2 years younger than I was!! It's a miracle!! Joan Rivers made her lying a big part of her standup in the 80s. Truth is, she kind of got away with it because she, like Christie Brinkley, has a big wide heart shaped face with big eyes. That in itself knocks years off your age once you are over 50. Why so late? Because at that age all one's contemporaries' faces have become drawn and sunken, and that fabulous sucked in cheek look in one's 20s is suddenly a big disadvantage. Look at Madge, using fillers to death in an attempt to get the rounder, fuller look. VP's Wiki now states her birth year as 1950, which means she decide to split the difference. Since her career is over, I suppose she no longer needs to be more than 5 years younger than her true age. She was CZJ before CZJ.

She didn't lie, she got a judge to legally rule she was the age she said she was

[quote]Charo's year of birth has been the subject of dispute for many years. Official documents in Charo's birthplace of Murcia, her original Spanish passport, and her naturalization papers state that her birth date is March 13, 1941. After immigrating to the United States, Charo said that she was born in 1947, then changed it to 1949. She asserted in a 1977 court hearing that her passport and naturalization papers were wrong and that her true date of birth was January 15, 1951

[quote]The performer has said in interviews that her parents allowed her to falsify her age to appear older when marrying 66-year-old band leader Xavier Cugat in 1966, although according to her later claims, that would have made her 15 at the time. However as noted previously, she has stated in many interviews that she was attending school in Madrid at that age and graduated at 16, not having yet begun her performing career. She has never clarified the obvious discrepancy

[quote]Numerous articles and interviews published shortly before and at the time of her wedding placed her birth year between 1945 and 1946. In 1964, Charo was referred to as Cugat's "18-year-old protegée". An April 1966 column on the wedding plans stated she was 20 and Cugat was 60. Many sources identified her as 21 on the day of her wedding.

[quote]In October 1977—‌the same year in which Charo filed for divorce from Cugat and became a naturalized American citizen‍—‌U.S. District Judge Roger Foley in Las Vegas allowed the 1951 birth year as official, with the performer providing sworn affidavits from her parents in support of her claim, a claim that has been viewed with skepticism

In the pre IMDb era, practically everyone. Teri Garr used to shave a good 5 years of her age but I think it’s finally caught up with her.

Not really a celebrity, but Katie Lee (Joel) just got remarried and the Post said she’s 36...which is pretty miraculous because I remember back when she was married to Billy Joel, she was my age (I’m 40)! She was very young when she married Joel (like 25/26) but not THAT young.

CZJ is a strange one. It seems like her age can't be right, but all evidence suggests she was indeed born in 1969. In the Darling Buds of May on British TV she was playing about five years younger than she was (she must have been about 22 playing a character who is 17), but that's nothing unusual. I don't ever remember her claiming to be a teenager at the time.

Nadine Coyle, later of Girls Aloud, said she was 18 to get onto the reality show Irish Popstars. She was only 16.

Margot Robbie is gorgeous, but honestly, she looks 40. I think it’s the fillers Botox.

It’s a catch 22, because people use these things to look younger, but it ages certain people. You can have the best doctor ever injecting you, but if you don’t have the skin for it, it won’t look good.

Fillers look great on me, but Botox completely changes my face. That why I made the decision to forget about the fillers and the Botox. I focus on skin care. And it has worked very well so far.

You need some extra weight as you age. If you lift weights, you can get away with it. Dry brush your skin, and drink tons of water.

Also, stay away from red meat. It will age the fuck out of you. Same with booze, cigarettes, and not wearing sunscreen.

The most interesting case of a celebrity shaving years off their age, I've ever heard, was Doris Speed, one of the original stars of Coronation Street as the pub landlady Annie Walker. In 1983, the Daily Mirror printed a story showing that she had been shaving 15 years off of her age, that she had been born in 1899 not 1914. She was on set when she saw the article, she fainted and was sent home to rest. A few weeks later her home was burglarized while she was home. She never recovered from those two incidents, had a breakdown, never returned to the show and spent her remaining years in a nursing home.

It's a pretty common thing for celebs lying about their ages. It's harder to do these days, though.

CZJ started off as child actress, so it's harder to shave much off your age that way (and public records back up her reported age). BarBara Luna, who began acting as a child, shaved a few years off her age. Nearly everything says she was born in 1939, but public records show she was really born in 1937.

Then there are even character actors who try and make themselves younger. The late Sudie Bond shaved 5 years off her age (she was really born in 1923) and she even managed to fool the press for her obituary and had 1928 put on her grave headstone!

Deborah Harry used to shave years from her age in the mid-70s, at the suggestion of her record company.

In 1976 she was 31 years old, and an almost unknown - so they told her to claim that she was 26. She also had the big heart-shaped face, and extra wide eyes. Deborah was also kind of a tomboy until she started to style herself like Marilyn. When she could not hide her real age any longer it actually added a layer of mystique.

Actually, R131, when Streep started out, at least on some publications. her year of birth was stated as 1951, but it didn't last. I guess it was some standard pr stuff, especially typical with actresses who were relatively old when they started making movies. Greer Garson was 34 when she made her film debut in Mr. Chips (and from Ireland), so it was easy to shave off 4 years of her real age. The same can be said about Irene Dunne or Jo Van Fleet, who confessed to being 6 and 5 years younger than the were, respectively. And after her death, ir was revealed Shirley Booth, who made her film rather late in life, was about a decade older than what was claimed (she was in her mid 50s when she won her Oscar for her first film, not 45).

So the Beyonce‘s PR people asked family members to send photos to the lawyer’s office and they’d forward them to the magazine.

My friend who opened the mail for this lawyer said she opened up one letter from a family member and it contained a picture of little Beyonce holding a cake with a number 4 candle on it, and directly behind her on the wall was a calendar with a year that didn’t correspond with Beyonce’s reported age. The lawyer promptly took the photo and ripped in front of my friend. I don’t remember the actual age discrepancy but it was more than 5 years difference. Totally true story.

Nikki Sixx, bassist of Mötley Crüe, claims he’s 61 (his birth is given as December ‘58) but I’m pretty sure if memory serves that he’s a couple of years older than that.

I distinctly recall learning to my surprise that he was in his mid-thirties when in ‘91 Crüe released the song ‘Primal Scream’, making him currently 63 (going on 64 at Christmas). He looked young for his age and was in a band with two much younger guys (Tommy & Vince) so it came as a shock.

Plus, I’ve heard him make occasional reference in interviews to really outdated cultural moments or items that only someone pushing 65 would remember.

He’s had a lot of work done now and clearly makes self-conscious effort to seem hip, so it throws people off the scent. I think he has a horror of becoming Alice Cooper (too late).

R165 yes, Angelyne is the audacious Billboard Queen of this thread. Shaving off 2 or 3 years and sticking to it is one thing (and everyone does it), but consistently lying that you are somewhere between eight-twelve years younger depending on how you feel getting up each morning is next-level. It would be impressive if it weren’t so sad. It’s like me walking around dressed like Billie Eilish and telling people “I’m gonna be a sophomore soon!” when it’s obvious I’m almost thirty and work a 9-5.

She also lied about her nationality & cultural background for ages, saying she was a true-blue American Christian from Ohio when in fact she was really born and raised Jewish in Poland. Her full legal name is Ronia (sometimes anglicised to ‘Rene’ or ‘Renee’) Tamar Goldberg, and her real birthday is October 2 (making her a Libra, which if you believe in that astrology nonsense absolutely checks out). I wonder if she has any family left alive now, and if so what they think about her pretense.

Her elder life seems sad, cold and lonely. It’s a pity how it all shook out for her. She was very pretty as a ‘60s teen redhead, too.

Greta Garbo was only 26 when she played aging ballerina in Grand Hotel. She doesn't look too young, but that was her real age.

I know for a fact that Sharon Case from The Young & The Restless is lying about her age. Her Wikipedia says she’s 49. I worked with her father back in 2005. On my birthday one year he asked me how old I was. I told him and he said that I had the exact birthday as Sharon...day and year,

I’m now 52.

I love me some Neve Campbell but her birth year is currently listed as 1973 and I swear it used to be 1971...

Wasn't beloved Deidre Hall accused of making herself older so she could get roles as a young actress?

R214 1971 is definitely not correct. When she was cast on GH as one of the many Dawn's in 1989, her age was given as 19 in the soap press and newspaper soap columns.

Dee Dee Hall's twin sister was born in 1944, but Dee Dee was born in 1958.

Betty Giplin only looks old because you've probably only seen her in super-aging 80s makeup and hair.

Anyway, I don't think celebs should give their DOBs because it could be used for identity theft/fraud especially if they're a working actor (not Meryl). No one at my work needs to know my exact DOB except HR.

R41 sadly I don’t remember the source and don’t have a link, but Natasha Lyonne once said something to that effect during a press interview early in her career.

Elizabeth Rodriguez was definitely not born in 1968. The movie Bedhead came out in 1991 and you can see that she is a teen in the movie. The reason her role was 'nurse' was because the movie was written and directed by her older brother Robert Rodriguez who filmed it for a school project on an $800 budget and all the actors in it were his siblings. All 5 of the Rodriguez siblings in the short film went on to careers in the movie industry as writers, producers, editors, directors, and actors. The 5 siblings in the movie were Robert Rodriguez, David Rodriguez, Elizabeth Rodriquez, Rebecca Rodriguez and Maricarmen (Tina) Rodriguez. Elizabeth was the oldest of the 3 sisters in the movie and you can see her just before the 1:00 mark pushing her brother David out of the room in her role as 'nurse', her younger sister Rebecca plays the lead role. I do think she is older than born in 1980 as she looks more 14-15 in the movie and not 11. Rebecca - the lead and younger sister looks to be 11-12.

Maggie Gyllenhaal? She looked middle-aged before she hit 40.

Meryl Streep lies about her weight at least. Age? Probably. Fat liar. Just lies all the time.

They lie but not as much as DLers do. And you lie about your dick size too.

I suspect Ms. De Havilland shaved off a good decade.

Meryl is early 70s but still gets roles for mid-40s. She and Cher both look great. Not surprised they're bffs.

What "mid 40s" roles has Meryl had in the past 10 years, hmm?

Eric Braeden bios say he was born April 3, 1941, but you can find bios related to Rat Patrol when he was still using his real name, Hans Gudegast, as well as French and German sources that say he was born April 3, 1939.

When actors do shave years off their ages, it's interesting to see how many they shave off. I would say four or five seems to be about average, and the limit seems to be somewhere around seven.

by Anonymousreply 234September 3, 2020 4:04 PM

R233 Unless Braeden started lying about his age when he moved to the US in 1959, he was born in 1941 according to his official immigration papers.

Was producer Adele Romanski (Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk, The Girlfriend Experience) really born in 1982? That's what Google and her Wikipedia says. That would make her 34 when she won for Moonlight. She looked at least 10 years older.
