David Fincher's "Mank" is the latest Hollywood film with a huge age discrepancy between the actors playing an onscreen couple -- in this case, 29 years between Gary Oldman and Tuppence Middelton. (That's all the more jarring since screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz and his wife, Sara, were the same age in real life.) Here are other examples of Hollywood's mismatched casting choices.
