Age difference?

I know DeWinter is older than the heroine, but it really leapt out at me watching this version just HOW much older Charles Dance was than the actress playing his second wife. Is he like 3 times her age???

I forgot what the age difference was in the book. Is it specified?

It was about twenty years, I believe.

Maxim is 42, Mrs de Winter is 19.
