Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on January 16, 1950)

Happy Birthday to the unstoppable Debbie Allen—our favorite dance teacher Lydia Grant who inspired us all in the iconic 1980 movie "Fame." You taught us that dancing requires sweat, soul, and determination; many still fearlessly throw on leg warmers thanks to your powerful lessons.

Your continuous success as an award-winning actress, choreographer, director—and a forever role model—is remarkable. Your passionate commitment mentoring young artists at the Debbie Allen Dance Academy continues your legacy beautifully. Honestly Debbie—we suspect you might actually be timeless because decades later you're still moving better than any of us! Keep dazzling and inspiring—have a fabulous birthday!
