Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on February 22, 1945)

Happy birthday to the one and only Leslie Charleson! You've brilliantly portrayed Monica Quartermaine, making General Hospital unforgettable. Whether you're delivering a quick-witted comeback or guiding your family through chaos (usually both simultaneously), every scene you touch turns into pure gold.

Your decades-long run on GH has brought countless memorable moments—is there anything more iconic than Monica steering the Quartermaine family dinners gone hilariously awry? Your impeccable balance of humor, heartache, sassiness—and world-class eye rolling—never ceases amazing us. Thanks for years packed with laughter-filled drama. Here's hoping this celebration includes significantly fewer interruptions by Jason or Tracy!

Cheers to many more timeless scenes ahead!
