Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on December 21, 1968)

Happy birthday, Khrystyne! Ever since your days lighting up the classroom as Simone on "Head of the Class," you've taught us all a lesson or two about charm, humor, and heartfelt performances. Your portrayal remains timeless—honestly, we can't pass by a chalkboard anywhere without humming that familiar theme tune.

Here's wishing someone who continues to inspire laughter and warmth another wonderful circle around the sun. May this year bring you even bigger successes both on-screen and off—and plenty of cake moments just as sweet (but much less stressful) than passing Mr. Moore's final exams back in class!
