Age fabrication

Age fabrication is when a person deliberately lies about their actual age. It is usually for the purpose of gaining privileges or seeming younger, sometimes going as far as to altering vital records. For example, during the 1940s and 1950s in Hollywood, it was extremely common for actresses to subract at least two years from their actual age. Most often, it is lowered. Sometimes it is not the people themselves that lower their public age, but others around them such as publicists, parents, and other handlers.
