Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on September 23, 1967)

Happy Birthday, Jenna Stern! From captivating audiences as Judge Elana Barth on 'Law & Order: SVU' to impressing us with your stellar guest performances in countless dramas, you've truly made your mark. Your talent is undeniable—so convincing that we're sometimes scared we'll disappoint you and get a stern judgment ourselves!

May this year bring even bigger roles, more exciting adventures (and fewer fictional courtroom confrontations). Here's hoping today involves lots of cake and absolutely zero objections. Keep shining bright; you're timeless proof that great acting never goes out of fashion—even if our jokes occasionally do.

Cheers to another fabulous trip around the sun!
