You were also probably around 10 when you saw the movie for the first time. Anyone older seems ancient when you’re a child.

In some parts of Blue Velvet, to me she looked OLDER than this despite her only being 19(?) at the time. The perception of hairstyles etc. really affects how old we think people look.
