A Christmas Story

Seeing this 36 years ago I thought she looked very mature.

Now I'm thinking, 'What a cutie!'.

What surprises me is she was 43 years old while filming this movie but looks like she could be in her mid 30's, she was great as the mother in "A Christmas Story".

I can't imagine this movie with any other actress.

When I saw her in Close Encounters of the Third Kind I thought she was kinda older looking for having a little kid Barry's age and after reading up on her bio I saw that she was already in her late 30s so I was correct.
