"I was reading the trivia section and saw that three different actresses played Eli, one who played the child, another one who did the voice and a third who played an elderly Eli. I don't remember seeing an elderly Eli. Did I miss something?" - Tiia84
There are two scenes where we see an older actress portraying Eli.
We first see the other Eli when Oskar cuts his palm in order to make a pact with his friend,
blood brothers. His blood drips onto the floor and Eli laps it up, this is when we see the alternate Eli for a brief moment, when Eli tells Oskar to leave (for his own safety).
The second time is when Eli wants Oskar to "
Be me, for a little while" following on from him bleeding out in Oskar's hall.
The older actress isn't portraying an older Eli, but a weary, wiser soul that's been around for over two hundred years. Yeah, technically older, but that wasn't the point of those scenes.
