She aged like 20 years and looked exactly the same

They also did it with Cora "Sisters" Yeah, this a point I made earlier. If Barbara Hershy plays a 30/40 year old Cora and a 60 year old Cora, then surely Regina, Hook, and Emma can play late 40s/50 year old versions of themselves.

Lana already confirmed that Regina was 7 years older in I think 7x02 and remarked that it was the case despite her not really looking much older.

So, it appears that:

18 to 50s- Played by the same actor minus much makeup.

60s+- they add makeup (Sort of what they did with Snow and David in the Wish realm).
