Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on August 29, 1965)

Happy Birthday, Frances Ruffelle! From barricades to Broadway, you've always known how to steal the spotlight. Your iconic portrayal of Eponine didn't just earn you a Tony Award—it also made us all secretly wish we could belt out "On My Own" half as well in our showers.

Through stage and screen alike, your talent continues to dazzle audiences everywhere. May this birthday be filled with laughter, applause—and absolutely no rain (we've heard enough about that from Les Mis). Here's hoping today is less miserable and more marvelous—after all these years, you're still hitting every note perfectly!
