Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on July 24, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Anna Paquin! From silencing audiences as little Flora in *The Piano* (seriously, we’re still amazed) to stealing mutant hearts as Rogue in the legendary *X-Men* films—your versatility is practically superhuman. You manage drama effortlessly alongside vampires and shape-shifting mutants alike; frankly, even Wolverine would toast your range!

And speaking of supernatural charmers—the unforgettable sass you brought to Sookie Stackhouse on *True Blood* truly raised fang-bangers’ standards everywhere! Cheers to another year filled with gripping performances and flawless hair flips—we secretly wish you'd borrowed some powers from your screen personas for birthday party fun today.
