Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on June 21, 1967)

Happy birthday to the delightfully talented Carrie Preston—our favorite fiery-haired waitress from Bon Temps! Whether you're brilliantly bringing Arlene Fowler's quirky charm and sass in "True Blood," or directing scenes that captivate hearts, you've given us so many memorable moments. Who else could make supernatural mayhem feel like home?

From your hilarious banter at Merlotte’s Bar & Grill to commanding powerful stories behind the camera, you shine brightly no matter where life takes you. May this year bring even more success—and fewer vampires lurking about!

Enjoy your special day with twice as much laughter (and half as much chaos). Cheers!
