Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on March 15, 1976)

Happy Birthday, Katherine Brooks! From wrangling Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie on "The Simple Life" to capturing the chaos of Ozzy's household in "The Osbournes," you've proven that reality can indeed be stranger—and funnier—than fiction. Your talent for storytelling has given us countless laughs (and a few jaw-dropping moments), making you an icon behind some truly unforgettable TV.

Beyond your brilliant directing skills, your fearless advocacy within the LGBT community continues inspiring many. May this birthday bring as much joy and laughter into your life as you've brought onto our screens—minus any unexpected drama from rock stars or socialites!
