50 celebrities turning 50 in 2012

The big 5-0 is a significant number for the average person, but what about when you live your life in front of a camera? For these 50 musicians, comedians, and celebrities of the big and small screen, age really is just a number.

No one can say Sheryl Crow and Tom Cruise aren’t aging gracefully. At 50 years old, Marcia Cross will be a mother of two four year olds! Rosie O’Donnell will likely celebrate her 50th on her new talk show on OWN, Oprah’s network. Soon to be 50+ musicians Anthony Kiedis and Flea are still rocking stadiums around the world with their band Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

It would appear that being born in 1962 puts you in good company.
