How old is Blanche?

There’s all this talk about a lady never revealing her age. I don’t know how well that goes over in real life but it was certainly the case for Blanche Devereaux. And while most fans may think her true age was never revealed on the show, those who were listening closely might have caught it. According to IMDB, in Season 3, Episode 25, Blanche admits, in a flashback, that she was 17-years-old in 1949. Which means in 1988, when the show first aired she was 53 and 60 when it ended in 1992. As someone who always finds it strange when women don’t reveal their age, I took great satisfaction in learning this little tidbit.
