Meaning?
Hi,
What is the meaning of" could have been stepped from" and" had been around that long" in the following text?
She wore a starched white uniform, spotless burgundy apron with "Babe" embroidered in pink, white hose, and white shoes, and could have stepped from a 1950's movie. She had probably been around that long, though her teased hair was still aggressively colored. It almost matched her apron.
Furthermore, I am wandering what kind of relationship might exist between, she had probably been around that long and though her teased hair was still aggressively colored? Comments would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

0I am starting to wonder about Grisham. "Stepped from" sounds odd to me. I would expect "stepped out of". She looked as though she was a character in a movie made in the 1950s who had come down off the movie screen into real life.
If she had been around that long, she would have been alive during the 1950s. She was pretty old.
She being so old, you would expect her hair to be gray.
