Tom (Billy Jack) older than Delores


Many people claimed that his girlfriend in the movie (also real-life wife) looked old and was older than Billy Jack. In fact, Tom Laughlin is eight years older than her! She looked old though.

Wow, I would of thought that she was about 10 year older than him! Yeah, I agree with you...she looked old. :>)

i had the great fortune of sitting at the same banquet table with Tom and Dolores in 1986 at the ShoWest convention, as he was trying to raise funding to complete The Return of Billy Jack. they are remarkable people.

So, very much not how David Roya ("Bernard") describes them?

Maybe she looked older because of her genes. Some people just can look way older then they are. Maybe the sun didnt do well for her and ruined her. Who knows. Look at Ed Harris ( The Abyss) and his wife Amy Madigan (co-star to Kevin Costner in Field Of Dreams) Ed is just so handsome then you have Amy that at one time was a cute little out door looking female but man has she gotten old and wrinkly.Time has taken its toll on her bad. I saw her on Criminal Minds and yes she does look that bad without makeup. But my point that there are couples out there that it isnt about having some trophy wife and its all about is she hot or is he hot....its about real love.

People with dry skin, as opposed to oily skin, tend to have their skin not age well.
