I could tell you how it could be done, but it’s complicated.
There is a neat temporary facelift technique that uses tape and string that’s quite effective.
Not to mention that they don’t exactly glam her up for role, so any makeup would be a help.
Use the actress who plays Alex.

Given how haggard and dirty Rousseau usually is, simply cleaning her up and adding some light makeup would probably do wonders for her apparent age.
Eh, it’s not like the bad hairpieces they used on Ben, Locke, or Jack actually made them look any younger.
I know I’m late to the party here (last year I never would have believed that I would tolerate a one-week lag on Lost episodes) and I apologize if this has been mentioned already, but…
No mention of the Apollo bars? I liked all the Apollonian stuff previously touched on. (+ Arrow & Swan stations, etc.)
Nice how showing the Apollo bars again with Ben Linus reinforces it.
I don’t get it.

What a dumbass!

Linus!! Hello! Greek god of security blankets!
Okay, I got nothing…

Sorry! I’m trying really hard not to fall back into my season one pattern of writing novel-length expositions about Lost esoterica. (That way lies madness.)
Maybe a little too much brevity, there, though…
Did he actually say that? For some reason I had the impression that he had said he lived on the island his whole life, which has a slightly different connotation. Of course if he did say that he was born there he could have meant it metaphorically as in he felt reborn.
He told Locke that he had lied about “having been born on this island”.
So…

Interesting guest star list for Greatest Hits.
From “The Man Behind the Curtain”:
So he has told Locke (or at least someone) that he was born on the Island. Of course, I’m wondering why he would need to lie about it; Richard Alpert, the ostensible leader of the Hostiles–the group that Ben joins–knows that Ben came to the island with the Dharma people, so unless Ben’s frightened him into silence somehow the people he’s currently with should know the same. As for Locke and the Losties, why would they care if he was born on the Island or not?
Apparently, with some of the upcoming plot twists on Lost spoiled by news outlets,
Charlie will die, most likely in this episode but possibly in the next, as well as Tom (Mr. Friendly).
openess? on LOST? the mind boggles. go charlie!
Sorry to bump this old thread, but I didn’t realize that was Carrie Preston until a few days ago. I’ve met her in person at an Atlanta screening of Straight-Jacket (which Emerson was also in), and she’s from Georgia.
…And, in her salad days she was an intern at Georgia Shakespeare at Oglethorpe University, just like Jennifer Garner, another actress who’s found work on a J.J. Abrams show.
I think this is moderately neat.
