sailorhathorWell I got several answers to my question last night, so I'll go ahead and reveal the answer.
Let's have one last look at that actress.
The general consensus is that she looks as young as 18 or as old as late 20's. So, my first impression of 23-24 was fairly good. The reason why I was asking this is because sometimes I can be a bad judge of age, and I wanted to get a sense of how old the character should be since she'll be in fics of mine (how many, I have no idea; only have one idea so far). This character is Zoey from a fairly mediocre movie called John Carpenter's Vampires: Los Muertos. It's one of those movies where the story is played out in a meh way, but the characters are totally unforgettable (at least, I loved 'em). Yeeees, I watched the movie because Jon Bon Jovi plays the lead. Truthfully, the first time I saw it, I didn't pay extremely close attention because vampires sort of bore me. I taped it and forgot about it. Recently, something made me decide to watch it again, and I fell in love with the characters. I'm still shocked and delighted by Jon's choice to play this role. Jon Bon Jovi as a freakin' vampire hunter? You gotta be fuckin' kiddin' me. But it's true.
Anyway, they had a few subtle hints throughout the course of the picture that a relationship between Jon's character, Derek, and Zoey might be forming, and that displeased me greatly because of the age difference. Now, I don't always mind a big age difference. Sometimes, it's really sexy. But in some cases, I just don't like it. In this case, I preferred a big brother, little sister sort of relationship between them. I mean, I love Jon to death - I've been into Bon Jovi since I was 11 - and he still looks really good, but he clearly looks 40+ to me. He was about 40 when he made the movie. So, a romantic thing between him and Zoey didn't appeal to me because she looks so much younger.
Here I was, happily thinking that the actress was 23-24, until I listened to the audio commentary. And the director says, "That's Natasha Wagner. She's Natalie Wood's daughter." I was like O_o?? Didn't Natalie Wood die a long time ago?! So I quickly went and looked up her age. She's currently 36!!! My GAWD, what anti-aging products is this woman using?! I want some! To be able to look as young as 18...!! I've decided to go with the age the character looks and not the age of the actress; it serves my purposes better anyway.
Anywho, thanks for playing. :D And helping me confirm my impressions.
