Hmm... the whole age thing... I just keep thinking about this in relation to Emily Procter on CSI:MIA. Emily is gorgeous, but I am betting that you won't hear her character Calleigh announcing that she is 38 yrs old anytime soon. (Dear Lord, please please let me look like that when I'm 38 )
Emily Procter is gorgeous and looks about 30. I never would have known she was 38 if I hadn't read articles that mention her age.
I think that Lindsay/Anna's age appearance on the show varies a lot with the material scene by scene. Some of the lighter season 2 moments make her look a lot younger, but any angsty moments/lighting age her (and by 'age her', I don't mean old, I just mean age variances). In a way, the differences help portray the mood of the scene and the seriousness. *shrugs*
I agree that the serious scenes age her. She scrunches up her face in a way that doesn't do her any favors. When they were doing the light-hearted stuff in season two, she looked younger, though I still don't think she could pass for younger than 32.
