The "Everly" actress, who is turning 49 soon, said somebody told her career would not last past the age of 35, reported Daily Mirror.
"In the past, when I tried to imagine what I'd look like and what my life would be like at this age, I was terrified. I imagined myself looking old, but instead I think I still look OK, and I'm fine with my appearance.
"For too many generations, women have suffered from this terrible lie that age 50 is like falling off a cliff. Women have believed for so long we'd act and feel as if we were finished, and we surrendered to that myth," she said.
"Fortunately, we've stopped believing that. Fifty is a great age where we can be very productive and happy and not feel limited by anything.
"I've realised I can still be beautiful and attractive as I approach 50. I feel very good about my life.
