Guilt, shame, definitely stress and enough of it can definitely age some people faster. She witnessed the extremely traumatic and excruciating death of the love of her life. Who knows how she explained her whereabouts when that went down to the fiancé she didn't really care about, but now was stuck with. Then had the only link to her true love, their son to raise and hoped no one would discover the truth. That's a whole lot to hold completely inside for decades. 😮💨
I noticed that too , why Leanne look much more older Hattie Mae … Leanne in the wheel chair while Hattie still can walk (beginning and ending of the movie)
I think that Leanne aging so much has more to do with Tyler Perry's team not thinking things through when completing this film, I have seen these type of things in some of his other work where age or family relationships do not make sense. I can understand Leanne having early onset dementia, which seems to be the case, but for her to look like she is in her late 80's when she is only in her 60's does not make sense no matter her complexion. Bottom line is even if Leanne did not age gracefully they should have cast an actor that at least looked younger than the older Hattie Mae.
She aged faster because she was depressed and she missed the love of her life and it constantly played out in her head. She was scared for her life every day hoping her husband wouldn’t find out and other people in the neighborhood and then she almost escaped her abusive mother and husband after having to endure her abusive grandfather and then the love her life and any hope she had of finally being happy and free to be herself was snatched from her right before she and her sons eyes. Luckily, the son was just a baby, but he had his Daddy’s eyes and she had to look in his eyes every day and hold herself together, so yes she looks old because she was stressing every day of her life and when her husband died she went off in her head to be with Bayou and didn’t know how to say anything to her son or where to start, so she just stared off into space to be with her memories of the man she loves.
This part of the movie unfortunately should have had more attention paid to the makeup. I don't care how much guilt she had unless she was on heroin too like Willie Earl she should not have aged more than Bayou's mother. Just another ball dropped.
He was in love with Leanne. I'm sure there may have been any woman on the road, but he loved her and found out that baby was his. People don't just fall out of true love and go to the next person that comes along...
Horace John Boyd aka Bayou was mixed race as well. His father, Buster Boyd was African American and his mother, Hattie Mae Boyd was a Mulatto woman of English European and African American descent. I believe both Bayou and Leanne have ancestral ties to the Thirteen Colonies that formed British North America, more specifically, the Colony of Georgia.
I mean, she would have been like 60 years old, give or take a few years...as much as I love Jasmine Guy, she looks more aged than the other characters from A Different World. In the real world pale women, women with a lot of European lineage, and Caucasian women age faster...
Maybe hattie Mae was only 15 years older than her son? It was back in the days after alll, and plus maybe they went w the regular “black dnt crack” type of situation? Idk lol
I agree although I don’t think that realistic when two people in love it will be a cold day in hell before U pull those two people apart ! He could have left her alone too!
Leanne Jean Harper was an Octoroon. She was the daughter of George Harper and Ethel Lee. George was a US born White man of Scottish European origin. Ethel Lee was an American Quadroon. Ethel was the biracial child of Red Lee, an American Mulatto of English European and African American descent. His dad in my was a White slave owner and his mother was a Black woman and one of his father's slaves. Ethel's mom in my opinion, was an American White woman of English origin. I believe she taught Ethel how to be a proper White woman before she and later Ethel herself had abandoned Red. The reason being is that Red Lee was a violent drunkard and sex abuser.
@@abrahamisaacmuciusiii9192 Red Lee the one who sexually abused Leanne yet Ethel left her with him even though she was also sexually abused by her own father.
Leanne foi covarde, não devemos ser mornos é sim frio ou quente e sem contar que a senhora que fez o ela velha é branca dos cabelos lisos, sendo que a personagem é parda do cabelo alisado, tbm tem o filho, aonde se viu um filho de parda com negro ser mais branco que a própria mãe, que era "branca". O Bayo infelizmente fez a escolha errada, sei que a vida não foi fácil para nenhum dos dois, porém ele morreu por ela e nem assumir sua raça ela teve coragem.
Well, Leanne is majority European American in ancestry. That heritage being English, Scottish, and Irish. Her race was Octoroon, which is someone who is majority European in ancestry with the exception of being 1/8 African lineage. In other a person whose family consists of mostly White relatives in addition to having one Black great-grandparent. Leaane Jean Harper was the daughter of George Harper, a White Man and Ethel Lee, a Quadroon woman. George Harper was a US born White man of Scottish and Irish European ancestry. Ethel Lee was the daughter of Red Lee, a Mulatto American of English and African descent, and unknown American White woman of English lineage. My statement is just my opinion, I obviously don't know Leanne's genetic makeup.

The ball wasn’t dropped! She aged like milk, as most pale woman do
Agreed and she looked nothing like her younger self.. it was not believable that it was her as an older woman 👵🏼👵🏻
That movie made me cry an mad

Brother's fault also.. But it was Leeann's faut to she should have left him alone
I agree although I don’t think that realistic when two people in love it will be a cold day in hell before U pull those two people apart ! He could have left her alone too!
I think it was must poor older actress choice 🤷🏾♀️
Concordo, aonde se viu uma personagem parda dos cabelos alisados, ser interpretada por uma senhora branca e do cabelos lisos
Here’s my question was Leanne half white half black was her mother half white half black.
Leanne Jean Harper was an Octoroon. She was the daughter of George Harper and Ethel Lee. George was a US born White man of Scottish European origin. Ethel Lee was an American Quadroon. Ethel was the biracial child of Red Lee, an American Mulatto of English European and African American descent.
