^ About the Whoopi Goldberg example, how does it count in theater rather than real life/truth in television? Also, with the Steve Martin example, having gone visibly gray before reaching the age of majority alone doesn't make it a subversion. I know and have known multiple teenagers who found gray hairs and then started using hair dye or plucking their silver strands because having gray hairs made them feel old. I myself found my first gray hairs when I was 13 and I was like, "Holy crap, I'm getting old? How is this happening?" and even though I never made any attempts to hide or remove them, it took me years to get used to actually having silver in my sable. In those cases, I feel it's {{not a subversion}}. However, if someone finds one or more gray hairs and shrugs it off, saying "big deal" to it, then it would be an actual subversion. I personally think that it would count as more of in inversion because rather than having a middle aged person find a single gray hair and say, "I'm old," Steve Martin was visibly gray before becoming an adult and didn't consider it a big deal.
