Terry Farrell "aged up" in 1995 and today. Some make-up artist wanted revenge apparently.

IIRC, that timeline was pretty stressful, so I think it's fair

- Considering what happens on a weekly basis, I'd say all timelines are pretty stressful in Starfleet.

Honestly people are looking younger than previous generations.

- Fewer smokers. Smoking really ages you.
  
  78
- For sure, and I’m sure a large part of it is less smoking and more sunscreen. That shit ages you.

  Sunscreen is probably less of a factor in this case. As I understand it, she has a skin condition that basically makes her avoid direct sunlight altogether.

- I know people are citing smoking and sunscreen but i'd like to give a shoutout to microplastics

  Haha are you talking indirect exposure or the jam it in my face kind?

Old people used to look different

- Used to and will again, apparently.

That picture is still recent, albeit a few years old. Here is one or 2 from 2024. And yes, she's still got it!

- She's aging into Kerri Kenney-Silver

They always over did it with the aging make-up in those days. Picard at the end of The Inner Light looks straight up horrifying.

Nah, accurate projection for what a fifty year old looked like in the 90's.

Go look up william hartnell and Peter capaldi as the 1st and 12th Doctors. Dudes were the same age bracket when they portrayed the character. We're lasting longer.

- Lasting longer, but also having much better access to basic skin care routines, smoking has dropped sharply and nobody has natural hair color anymore.
  
  Stallone was the same age in Creed as Burgess Meredith was in the original Rocky.
  
  Tom Cruise was older in Top Gun Maverick than Tom Skerritt was in Top Gun.

Isn't Terry Farrell dramatically allergic to direct sunlight? I feel like I read that in the trivia for the episode The Ship, and that was why Dax had to stay inside for the whole episode.

Never being allowed to go out in direct sunlight will have a real positive effect on one's aging process.

22
- Yep, she has a skin condition. I didn't know this, so I looked it up. I guess it's not super common knowledge, but she has discussed it before.
  
  One of the fans asked Terry Farrell about her skin disorder, which prevented her from doing much shooting outside, such as the episode Rocks and Shoals where Dax stays inside a cave for most of the episode. Farrell told how she was teased when people saw her about walking about with a parasol.

- I’d imagine it would make me super depressed but I guess less blemishes.

Still would.

- Is that you Commander Riker?

  You can bet your hurting back on that.

Likely at the behest of that bastard Berman.

20
- Her breasts don't look big enough for that.

Huh. 1995 was almost 30 years ago. Now excuse me while the nurse rolls me out to the patio so I can take a nap.

5
- I finished high school in 1995, so I'll be along shortly.

  -95 was just like a decade ago, right?

"today" is before 2021, and it seems to be a carefully selected photo she uses when asked for autograph.

who would expect such photo with good lighting, make-up and possibly any amount of digital editing look better, than character who was supposed to be "old person in the wild", right?

They always make old women's hair look like shit in flash forwards, like women stop taking care of their hair when they're old and just let it turn into a wirey mess

I think it would be difficult to smile with face contours made of latex.
