Watching this excellent film (The World According to Garp, of course!) there are two main female actresses (Mary Beth Hurt and Glenn Close) impersonating two women with a great gap of age between themselves.
But... reading IMDb.com they have... 1 year of difference between themselves!!!
Mary Beth Hurt was born in 1948, Glenn Close was born in 1947. :o))
That is funny! You peaked my curiosity so I looked up Robin Williams and he was born in 1952!

I wouldnt say that, when Garp first meets Helen, he's supposed to be a teen (not sure exact age), but Williams clearly looked 30. Other than that there was no prob.
Great movie, very glad i stayed up til 3am to watch it!
Garp is on his High School wrestling team, so that would make him between the ages of 14 and 18. It appears it's during his junior or senior year that he first meets Helen, so that would make him 16, 17 or 18. I would assume it's 16, because it's not untill he meets Helen that he decides to become a writer, and by the time senior years roles around, most have alread choosen a career path they would like to try to follow.
