Michelle Pfeiffer was dreading turning 50 – because she believed her Hollywood career would be over.

The actress – who celebrated the milestone birthday in April last year – was worried she’d be cast aside when came out of her 40s.

But when her big day arrived Michelle loved every minute of it.

She says, “If you think hitting 40 is liberating wait until you hit 50.

“I was surprised at how liberating it was and I think it’s because, as with everything, the anticipation of something is always much worse than the reality and I think that the anticipation of turning that big number looming over you, you actually turn it and you go ‘Oh. Was that it?”
