Her character gave the impression of being in her thirties with a doctorate and tons of experience, regardless how old the actress was. In the books she was apparently in her “late twenties” so that reasonably tracks.
costume, hair and makeup. the same way we make assumptions about age IRL. you know how you look at old photos and see people in highschool looking like your parents? because your parents were probably in highschool around that time and they dressed and styled a certain way and you associated that with your parents’ age.
Some people just have a mature looking face even when they are young. And they will look the same age for pretty much their whole life
Because she looks way older than 23 here.
Dude I legit thought she was like 40 and was the secret parents of the kids with the dude
Wasnt she introduced as Dr. Ellie Satler? She completed her doctorate in paleobiology before 24 and she outran a velociraptor!
