Real age 41, Character Yentl Mendel 17

There is no denying Barbra Streisand’s youthful glow in the musical Yentl, despite being 41 at the time of filming, she manages to pull off a convincing 17 year old Yentl. With a 24 year age gap, Barbra and Yentl hold the title for most difficult age to pull off.
