Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on August 24, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Erin! From your remarkable portrayal of Missie LaHaye in "Love Comes Softly," you've warmed hearts so thoroughly that Hallmark cards sometimes get jealous! Your performances struck such a chord, even my couch started planning movie marathons without me.

Wishing you another year filled with laughter, joy, and continued success onscreen and off. May every take be perfect (well...nearly), every script inspiring—just like your roles—and may your birthday be as timeless as the stories you've brought to life. Here's hoping next year's blooper reel becomes an instant classic too! Cheers to you, Erin; you truly deserve it!
