Salma Hayek was "terrified" of turning 50. The actress has admitted that she used to be scared of getting old, because she was told her career wouldn't last past the age of 35. Salma said: "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." The star of 'Tale of Tales' added that she no longer worries about turning 50, as it's an age where women can be "productive".
