Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on October 06, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Amanda Brown—novelist extraordinaire and mastermind behind everyone's favorite Harvard-bound fashionista! Thanks to your creative genius, the world discovered that pink suits and courtroom drama go beautifully hand-in-hand. You've inspired countless fans (and perhaps a Chihuahua or two) to pursue their goals passionately, stylishly—and most importantly—with humor.

Beyond "Legally Blonde," you've continued charming readers with wit and warmth in fantastic novels like "Family Trust" and "School of Fortune." Here's hoping your birthday is as fabulous as Elle Woods herself, filled with plenty of laughter, joy—and maybe even a bend-and-snap-worthy gift or two. Stay legally awesome!
