Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on January 30, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Ann Dowd! From your unforgettable roles in "Law & Order" to the chilling Aunt Lydia on "The Handmaid's Tale," you've mastered characters who make us both admire and fear you. Your ability to portray complex personalities with such depth is truly remarkable—though we're still slightly terrified whenever we see a red cloak.

Here's wishing you another year filled with captivating performances, Emmy-worthy moments (and hopefully fewer stern lectures as Aunt Lydia). May this birthday bring laughter brighter than courtroom lights and joy more enduring than reruns of our favorite episodes. Cheers to many more timeless successes ahead!
