Younger Than They Look

[poliphilo]

Henry VIII became a shambling wreck, riddled with disease- an old, old man.



Actually he was 55 when he died.

And his father- the miser- with his gaunt, hollowed out face?



He died at 52.

Elizabeth I was the long-lived one in that family. She made it all the way to 69.

When we were kids people in their sixties dressed and acted old. These days there's less of that. Look at Mick Jagger.
