Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on May 25, 1943)

Happy Birthday to the fabulous Leslie Uggams! From your groundbreaking Tony-winning performance in "Hallelujah, Baby!" to stealing scenes as Blind Al alongside Deadpool, you've dazzled us with talent and charm. Your unforgettable rendition of classics has left audiences humming for decades—though nothing beats that legendary moment when you gracefully handled forgotten lyrics on live TV!

Through stage and screen alike, your warmth and humor continue inspiring generations. Whether belting out Broadway hits or effortlessly trading witty banter with superheroes (and antiheroes), you're timelessly entertaining.

Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter—and perhaps fewer spontaneous lyric rewrites! Cheers to a true legend!
