Speaking at a luncheon at Canyon Ranch Austin in Dallas, Texas, she said, "I think that women, in my industry and in the world and the way that we're seen and spoken about, it's just, it's so critical. We just need to be kinder to ourselves and also, like I'm someone who, I don't want to look 20 years younger, 10 years younger. I want to be the best version of me right now. " She urged embracing hard work and routine, adding, "For me, after I exercise and I sweat, I've burned off a lot of my fear and I spent a lot of time just breathing, and it just gets so much oxygen into my body, and then I just feel better about myself. Like, I've already won the day. For me, it's a life-changer, and I've never been this disciplined ever in my whole life. " The weekend in the Bahamas underscored that fitness and family are central to how she marked turning 50.
Next on her public schedule is unclear in the provided context, but the celebration and the social posts make clear that the Bahamas weekend was staged as a private, family-focused milestone and a moment to reflect on a career that began in modeling at 14 and has spanned film and television roles from the late 1990s to the present.
