Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on December 29, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Charlotte Riley! From haunting us with your spellbinding portrayal of Cathy in "Wuthering Heights," to charming audiences worldwide with grace and elegance, you've consistently given performances worthy of celebrating. Your talent has turned gloomy moors into brighter places (though still moody—we wouldn't have it any other way!).

Here's wishing you a birthday filled as dramatically wonderful as your on-screen adventures—or at least far less tragic than Catherine's love life! May this coming year bring more captivating roles, laughter-filled moments off-set, continued success alongside the amazing Tom Hardy; and please keep delighting fans everywhere. Cheers to you!
