Roberta Maxwell

Kd5000:
Did they age her in Brokeback Mountain?? She looks younger in these photos.  Though given the life Mrs. Twist led in "Lightning Flat," (poor, downtrodden, bleak environment), it's in keeping with the character.  :(

Brown Eyes:

Well, it looks like she was born in 1942, so she's 66 right now.

My guess is that they did try to make her look a little older in BBM, I'm sure they wanted to stress, visually, that she's had a hard life up there in Lightning Flat.

Here's a clip from O'Neill's  "A Touch of the Poet" (1974) where Roberta looks so young and lovely, with Nancy Marchand (famous for "Lou Grant" and "The Sopranos"):

Two-and-a-half years later!  I found "A Touch of the Poet" in the used DVD section.  It's a filmed version of a stage performance, from 1974.
