How old was Steven Spielberg in The Color Purple?

Have you ever watched a movie and found yourself curious about a celebrity’s age at the time? It connects us more personally to their story and evolution. Here’s the answer to that particular curiosity.

While The Color Purple was being made, Steven Spielberg was:

38 years old

That number reflects the celebrity’s real age when the movie was made.

The calculation of the shown age took into account the first day of the year in which the movie The Color Purple was released:

January 1, 1985

And the birth date of Steven Spielberg:

December 18, 1946

As films generally take less than a year from filming to release, the age of Steven Spielberg during production could differ by a year from what’s shown.
