Traci a bit old to play Dejah Thoris
Like 15 years
shareI agree, she is way too old and looks it. They could have made it a bit better if they would have spent about $20.00 for black hair dye and red body paint, but we get stuck with an old, pale skinned, blonde Dejah!!!

Well at least she isn't a shape shifting mutant (or whatever Andrew Stanton is now doing in his mucking quest.) But yes-I never pictured her as Dejah Thoris.

Was that some kind of joke?"

In the book Dejah Thoris is a brunette woman with copper red skin. Her age is never mentioned but she is usually portrayed as in her mid to late 20s in artwork for book jackets. The aging process however is slower on Mars in the book meaning she never really ages at all.

I think ERB described her as looking in her twenties, black hair and copper red skin. I would have preferred a younger, less worn actress with dark hair. They could have at least forked out a few bills for black hair dye and red body paint to appease the die hards. Her costume is the only thing they got half-way right.

The costume artist did ok, but I see no signs of a make up artist.

traci is going back & forth, with "SCI-FI, HORROR, ACTION & DRAMA" and everything in between.
shareTraci Lords as Dejah Thoris may be a bit of a marketing ploy. Ms Lords was once a porn star, Dejah Thoris the character is strongly associated with nudity by anyone who knows anything about the Mars series.
sharetrue along with other things.
shareDejah Thoris is said to have a "girlish figure."
Tracy Lords was showing off her figure when she was but a girl.
- Aging is a physical problem, and physical problems are amenable to engineering solutions.
I always pictured Bea Arthur as Dejah Thoris, but hey, that's me
shareTraci Lords would make a better Bea Arthur than she does a Dejah Thoris.

Are we talking Maude-era Bea or Golden Girls? Or the Star Wars Holiday Special?
"You are interested in the unknown... the mysterious. The unexplainable"
All the above, mcr.
