Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on August 12, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Kirsten Smith! You're the queen of witty dialogue and girl-powered screenplays—thanks to you, soccer fields became Shakespearean stages ("She's the Man"), and law schools suddenly seemed fabulously pink ("Legally Blonde"). Your scripts taught us that girls can kick goals in heels or cleats—and always with sass.

May your birthday be as timelessly entertaining as your iconic characters. Here's hoping this year brings even more hilarious plot twists, empowering moments, and perhaps another generation-defining screenplay. Keep inspiring us all to embrace our inner Viola Hastings—boldly funny, fiercely independent—and never afraid to bend it like Beckham!
