Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on August 08, 1988)

Happy Birthday, Laura Slade Wiggins! From your unforgettable portrayal of Karen Jackson in "Shameless," you've shown us that even the most chaotic characters can steal our hearts. Your talent for bringing humor and depth to every scene has left audiences laughing, crying—and occasionally questioning their own sanity.

Here's hoping your birthday is as delightfully unpredictable as life on the South Side with Frank Gallagher around. May this year bring you continued success, laughter-filled moments both onscreen and offscreen, and fewer awkward family dinners than those experienced by Karen herself!

Cheers to another fantastic trip around the sun—stay shamelessly awesome!
