Jane Lynch says turning 50 was

‘Glee’ star Jane Lynch may have turned 50 last year, but the actress says she’s not worried about the years going by. “I turned 50, and I think that I’ve been pretty good about getting old and the number going up. That’s pretty much the only way it goes – unless you’re dead!” says Jane, who plays coach Sue Sylvester in the musical series, and also married partner Lara Embry last year and became stepmother to her daughter Hayden. “But I do think that with the fact that I got married this year and I have a kid, turning 50 is pretty cool.” While she’s fine with reaching half a century, Jane admits she had more of a problem with her 40th birthday. “I remember when I was 39 and about to turn 40, I was sitting on a dryer at a laundromat and it struck me, ‘I can’t be 40 and doing my laundry at a laundromat!’ So I changed that – I bought a house and turned 40 happily throwing my laundry into my own washer and dryer.”
