Is there a general age limit for becoming a stewardess?

Hi Y'all!!

I am writing on behalf of my mum. She is interested on becoming a stewardess but is concerned with being too old to do this. She is 47 (and she's a nurse).
If anyone has any advice for her it would be most welcome.

Many thanx,
Capt. Morgan
