One thing that strikes me whenever I watch "The Greatest American Heroine" is how much Ralph and Maxwell have obviously aged. That pilot is supposedly from 1986, which means that it was produced only 3 years after the original run of the series------yet Ralph and especially Maxwell look much older. Maxwell's hair is now bordering on "white"-----it was grey during the 3 seasons of TGAH. Pam still looks great, but noticeably older than she did on the show. Ralph's face definitely has more wrinkles.
Only 3 years have passed!!
Did the greenguys accelerate their aging process?!

Ralph's face definitely has more wrinkles. Only 3 years have passed!! Did the greenguys accelerate their aging process?! The only thing I can say is that people's bodies can age rather unusually. That said, Culp's hair apparently was already growing grey in the series and used dye to make him look younger. Greenguy mentions in one of his summaries that there are scenes that have Bill's hair lighter than others. Plus as fast as my mom's hair turned grey - and she's never dyed her hair - it's possible it's a genetic trait. Katt I think looked like he aged a lot because he has a tan, quite possibly makeup (same with Culp) and the haircut simply made him look older. I think the reverse is true now - Katt looks closer to his true age when his hair is relatively long and is wearing a soul patch/goatee, he looks younger with shorter hair and clean shaven. Connie's aging I think and feel was simply because she wore way too much eye makeup. You look at her now, and she looks like she's changed the least of the three - you could almost put her right back in 1981 and no one would know she was in her early '50s. |

People age quickly and they may have wanted to take advantage of the fact that the suit can make you older...especially dealing with all the problems and such it causes.  |
