Old enough to have a fourteen year old daughter. Indeed older than that. He and his cousin say in Act 1 Scene 5 that they wore masks to a party thirty years before, and that is the last time they did it. So he must be in his fifties at least. That's somewhat revealing since his wife is about twenty-seven. (she is about twice Juliet's age) He must be twenty-five years older than she is at least.

It of course does not say in the script how old Capulet is. The actor who played him, Paul Hardwick, was 50 years old in 1968 (it was in this year, not 1969, that the Zeffirelli film, which I assume to be the one you mean, was released.)

Which character is a foil to lady Capulet?

The Nurse foils the character of Juliet's mother, Lady Capulet. As her mother, Lady Capulet should know everything that there is about her daughter; she should know how old she is and her innermost feelings. However, Lady Capulet knows neither. Early on in Act 1, Lady Capulet is unsure of Juliet's age and the Nurse has an extended speech in which she explains to Juliet's mother how she knows how old Juliet is better than her mother does. Additionally, throughout the play, it is the Nurse that Juliet goes to for advice and assistance, not her mother.


Which family is Tybalt from in Romeo and Juliet?

Tybalt is associated with the Capulets, and he thinks of himself as a Capulet, but he is actually not a Capulet at all. He is the son of Lady Capulet's brother, and Lady Capulet is only a Capulet by marriage. That is why it is Lady Capulet, and not Lord Capulet, who is so furious with Romeo after he kills Tybalt.
