Let's make this birthday one to remember.

31 years old (Born on February 23, 1994)

Happy Birthday, Dakota Fanning! From stealing our hearts in "I Am Sam" to charming us all alongside Brittany Murphy in "Uptown Girls," you've grown up gracefully on screen. Honestly, surviving an alien invasion with Tom Cruise ("War of the Worlds") should earn you a lifetime supply of birthday cake!

Here's wishing your special day is filled with laughter and joy—just like the countless smiles you've given audiences worldwide. May this year bring even more memorable roles, continued success, and fewer extraterrestrial encounters (unless they're friendly!). Keep shining bright; Hollywood wouldn't be quite as fun without you!
