Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on January 20, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Colleen Zenk Pinter—daytime television's eternal diva! Just like Barbara Ryan, you've dazzled us for decades with timeless grace and style. From plotting mischievous schemes in Oakdale to surviving countless twists and turns (literally as the world turned), your iconic portrayal has kept generations glued to their screens laughing, crying—and occasionally yelling at characters who dared cross you.

May your birthday celebration be filled with fewer dramatic plotlines but just enough cake-induced intrigue! Here's hoping today is scripted better than any episode from 1978–2010—we can't wait to see what exciting storyline real life brings next. Cheers!
