Why Does Adaline Not Age?

She suffers a car accident, she dies in frigid waters and brought back to life by a lightning strike, the combination that causes her to remain 29 years old forever. As her daughter Flemming grows older, it becomes apparent that Adaline is not aging.

Can The Age of Adaline really happen?

Today, there are many strands of research involved in the science of aging—and how to prevent it from happening. While most people are not “immune to the ravages of time,” as Adaline magically experiences, there is still hope for humankind to live longer and healthier lives—and theoretically, even exist indefinitely.

How old was Adaline when she stopped aging?

In "The Age of Adaline," a miraculous series of events causes a woman to stop aging in 1937, freezing her at 29 years old for the next eight decades.
