I'd say she's in her mid to late twenties.

My guess: 35-40. Actually, doesn't it say somehwere that her b-day was 14/2/1968? If so, she'd have been either 39 or 40. But exercise, healthy eating and a suitable plastic surgeon can do wonders

In Underworld Lara looks like in her 40s but in excellent shape. Her face is more mature and her make up is more...Desperate Housewife

Actually, when Lara is discussing the doppy with Zip in Underworld, she says Natla sent one after her years ago. Obviously this is a reference to Anniversary, which was definitely set in 1996... I think now maybe she was 26 in Legend, and maybe 21 in Anniversary.

^That doesn't make sense.

She would have to have aged 10 years, as Anni was in '96, and Legend was in '06.

And I do believe she was talking about Bacon Lara too.

Yes, but Legend wasn't necessarily set in 2006. I meant maybe Legend and Underworld were '01.

I don't think we will ever know her age.. She's too superhumanly fit for early 40s and much too old facially for 30s. They shouldn't have included those damn wrinkled lol..

I always thought she was supposed to be 28, for some reason. I don't know why - I think I heard it on another forum. That would makes sense to me, 'cause then that would make her 18ish in Anniversary, and she is younger in that game, having never killed a person and all.

Lara's mother dissappears when she is 9.

In TRU she says something about her mother being stuck there for the past 20 years. Making lara 29.

Assuming that TRU takes place a couple of weeks after TRL (she just had her meeting with Prof. Eddington) that makes her 29 in 2006 when legend started.

Subtract 10 years to get to 1996 where TRA starts so lara is 19 there. Explaining one reason why she was supposed to be "young and inexperienced on her first big adventure" and the whole lot of crap about her first kill.
(Even though it TR1 she is 29 and already an experienced adventurer)

Which makes the dig in TRL where amanda is trapped 1995. (18 years).

Wind back further and that makes Crystal Dynamics lara to be born in 1977.

Me either.

Lara wasn't 19 in Anniversary either. It is stated in the Bio that she had founded over fifteen archaeological discoveries before Anniversary, all the while writing books and not to mention hunting down Big Foot. She had already built a reputation for herself well before Anniversary, which would be impossible to do in the span of 1 year. Natla approached Lara for those reasons, because in no way would Natla have hired an amateur fresh out of Uni, whether she had a connection to her father or not.
