That’s a digitally de-aged or deepfaked Young Judith Light, meeting cute with a similarly youth-ified Billy Crystal. Look, I know there are all sorts of issues surrounding this kind of technology — from the use of dead actors’ likenesses (not applicable here, fortunately) to the way a lack of consistency between de-aged actors and recast actors used to portray young versions of older characters can get confusing (it really threw me for a loop in Disclaimer, for example). But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get a real gee whiz! feeling from seeing convincing versions of Crystal and Light in their early days as actors having an emotional moment together. I like Soap and Who’s the Boss? as much as the next guy, you know?
