Laura Linney has no sympathy for stars who fear aging - she considers herself lucky to have lived to 40. The 43-year-old actress claims actors have no right to expect decades of success, when so many people die young.

She says, "It's really about being realistic. No one is going to be an A-list movie star and make millions of dollars forever. You're just not.

"It's also about the fact that I think we're lucky we got to be 40. There are so many people out there who die way too young."
