In Regina Rising (what I prefer to consider no canon, because is full of contradictions with the series) is stipulated that Coral is in her late 30s by the time of "The Stable Boy" hahahaha. That's not impossible if she had Regina when she was 20. Yeah, but my point is that Barbara Hershey doesn't look to be in her late 30s. That's an acting thing. Critiquing the actress for not looking younger doesn't make canon any different.

Show canon says Cora had Zelena, then a year or so later, Cora had Regina. Cora is like 60ish to Zelena's and Regina's late 30s. Lana played a young Regina, despite Lana being in her 30s and Regina only being a few years older than ten-year old Snow. Barbara Hershey (around 60) was available (and I don't think Rose McGowan was) when they filmed for example, "Sisters".
