His wife was played by a 31 year old

I was guessing she was early 40s.

Caroline Goodall was also in Cliffhanger, and again, seemed like a woman her 40s.

Are you actually implying a woman in her late 30s, early 40s can't have kids? Cause if you are that is bullcrap.

That's quite the leap.

She was cast as Robin Williams wife and apparently they met when she was a teenager, so I'm guessing the age gap (even though he's over 100 years old) is meant to be minimal, seeing as he started ageing when he left neverland. Robin was 40 when he made this.

It has been a while since I saw this but I do not remember that being said. But maybe having 2 kids took a toll on her. It happens.

Spielberg also cast her in Schindler's List

Oh my God! Oh the humanity! A thirty-one year old! Pre-pubescent children will think she's old!

She didn't cry youthfulness

I'm not quite sure what the issue is. Do you mean because she's 31 she can't play a woman older? Some women who are in their 30s can look like they are in their late 40s and some woman in their 50s can still pass for 30s. If the director likes you and you look the part, then there's no problem. You can't confuse movie/stage ages with real life ages.

I would've thought she was in her mid to late 30's myself.
