Tilda Swinton turned 50 in November. And she’s plowing ahead: she’s already getting Oscar buzz for her portrayal of Emma Recchi in this year’s I Am Love, and plays the White Witch in the much-anticipated Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Swinton won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Michael Clayton in 2007, and recently returned to her roots as the face of Scottish knitwear brand Pringle of Scotland.
