Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on December 30, 1980)

Happy birthday to the incredible Eliza Dushku! From slaying vampires as Faith in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" to kicking butt in "Dollhouse," you've always brought strength, sass, and style to every role. Your fierce portrayal of complex characters has left fans both inspired and slightly terrified—in a good way!

Here's hoping your special day is filled with laughter, joy, and absolutely zero vampire attacks (though we're confident you'd handle them effortlessly). May this year bring you even more exciting adventures on-screen and off. Keep being amazing—because let's face it: nobody does badass quite like you do!
