Too Close for Comfort

The 46-year-old (although some sources say she is 55) resurfaced at a charity event in L.A., looking like Fergie.

Lydia Cornell
According to IMDB, Cornell had her last drink in 1994 and is the great-great-great-granddaughter of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" author Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Lydia is now a blogger, novelist and stand-up comedian and currently hosts a Las Vegas radio show about politics and celebrity.

31. IMDB does list her date of birth as July 23rd, 1953.. Too Close for Comfort was on from 1980 - 1985, according to IMDB. I think she's probably close to 55 years old, not 46. She looks really pretty though. I had seen other pictures of her recently and she looks good for her age (of 50+ years old).. if she's only 46 - then she didn't fair too well in the looks department.

32. She looks good. However, she is older than the age reported in this story. I recall seeing her on TV when I was in middle school, perhaps as early elementary school. I am close to the age that is reported in this story.

33. Lydia and her sister on the show are a year apart. Lydia born 1953 and Deborah van Valkenburg in 1952. Do a simple google search and see pics of both together today. Lydia is still a MILF and Deborah not. LOL.

34. To put an end to the debate on how old she is, she is actually 56. Her birthdate is July 23rd, 1952. IMDB can sometimes post the wrong information on people. I looked this one up on Wikipedia and her official website gives the Wikipedia link for updated information.

35. Oh and I love this comment Lydia made under her Christmas family photo on her blog from Dec. 30:

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."

39. Paul,

I knew you were correct the first time around. I was born in 1964, and I know Lydia is not 2 years older than me either. Ancestry.com has birth records for California, Texas, and Minnesota. Even my wedding date is listed on there for Las Vegas.

40. Type in El Paso County, Texas Birth Index, and she is listed under births for 1953 under her real name of Korniloff. *If anyone really cares besides me* lol

42. Of course she's 55. She's from the era where actresses routinely lie about their age because of industry prejudices.

43. Even most of the actresses from the Silent Film era lied about their ages. I have been doing some research from the United States Censuses. It has been going on since the birth of film.
