Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on December 26, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Danielle Cormack! From your unforgettable days on "Shortland Street" to captivating audiences worldwide with your powerful performances, you've proven that talent and charisma never go out of style. Whether you're portraying fierce heroines or complex characters, you always leave us wanting more.

Here's hoping this year brings even greater adventures—perhaps another iconic role or a surprise cameo back at Ferndale? Whatever comes next, we know you'll handle it brilliantly (and probably steal the scene while doing so). Keep shining bright and making New Zealand proud; after all these years in showbiz—you've still got it!
