Hmm... Mary Poppins looks a little younger than I remember....

And a little reality check with the current actress...
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000267/?ref_=tt_cl_t1


I could use some of those magic animals and birds that appear in Disney movies to help clean up places.  "Just a bucket full of bleach makes the toilet smell nicer... Have it little birds.  And don't spill any bleach anywhere.  Not one drop.  And... a little less chirping, a little more work, eh?   You!  Squirrels!  I want you to move these 60 pound dumbbells to the other side of the room.  No... Not you raccoon.  You look like you've got rabies.  I don't like the look of you.  You're out."

Yep.  Mary Poppins and Morticia Addams...


Some quick/rough math...

Julie Andrews, born in 1935.
Mary Poppins is from 1964.
So she was about 29 years old.
About 79 now.

Addams family... also 1964.  1964-66.
Carolyn Jones (I) (1930–1983)
She would have been about 34-36.
Died at age 53 though.

source: imdb of course.



Bingo....  Makes sense.     *Bob thinks he shouldn't start getting used to saying bingo...*

She's not looking young.

There must be some age where it's just old.  Maybe 70+... ish?  At some point it's not really mattering so much.  I suppose the lady in the pic above could be 80+ though.  And then there's the 120-year type of old where if they get breathed on, they'll die. 

Either way, that does not look like a good future.  They're going to have to figure out how to reverse and/or slow/halt aging.  Or else figure out how to transfer us out of bodies that only last 120 year max.
