Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on October 24, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Melissa Hutchison! You're the voice behind gamers' favorite zombie-survivalist Clementine—proof that sometimes a hat, courage, and a whole lot of sass is all one needs to survive the apocalypse. Your heartwarming portrayal not only won awards but also melted hearts faster than Sonic blazing through medieval castles in "Sonic and the Black Knight."

Through time-traveling adventures in "Back to the Future" to teaching players real emotional survival lessons as Clem, your voices brought laughter, tears—and sometimes fear of pixelated walkers—to millions. Thanks for making us feel deeply connected (and occasionally terrified), Melissa. Here's to another epic year leveling up life!
