When she recovered all her young looks were gone and she looked her age. She was very upset that her DD had an admirer that she thought was her admirer. I have searched all of BD movies but none had this plot line.
Try Mrs. Skeffington, not sure of the spelling. Claude Raines also stared.

I think I know the movie you are wanting to find. It was called Mildred Pierce The Essentials. I remember it because her daughter was called Veda. It was Joan Crawford. Hope this is correct.

No. It wasn't as dramatic as this one. The woman is standing up laughing at the water spray and wind from the scene I remember. I rented Mr. Skeffington and will watch that. I hope that is it!

The movie A Stolen Life comes to mind. Bette Davis played twins, good twin versus bad twin, opposite Glenn Ford. It has a boat scene and there are parts with the old man in the lighthouse. Whether or not it is this movie it is a good one to watch.
