The Daredevil 1,189 Posted February 7, 2023 I bet Joanne Woodward didn’t look so good at 90. If Woodward can make it so close to 93, so can Scales. Meaning Scales can again be dropped in 2024, but should return in 2025. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Commtech Sio Bibble 2,026 Posted April 23, 2023 I really wouldn't be surprised if she outlives Timothy. He looks about 20 years older than her every time I see the pair of them together. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It feels like one of those where they will both go in quick succession as I'd expect the surviving spouse will be lost without the other. They appear a very devoted couple, similar to the Carters. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathrace 1,164 Posted June 17, 2023 They both look great for their age and considering their medical issues. Also noteworthy that Prunella is clearly still physically well enough to do gardening. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathrace 1,164 Posted October 27, 2023 Obviously she has fairly advanced dementia but physically she looks amazing for someone in their 90s (for example her neck is barely wrinkled in that latest photo) and could easily pass for someone in their mid 70s.

maryportfuncity 10,630 Posted October 27, 2023 Weird photo, mind - looks like the stuff growing outside the windows is painted on. Is that some artistic expression of how a person in her mental state sees the world or just a trick of the light? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
