Happy Birthday, Linda Lavin! From serving up laughs as Alice Hyatt, the waitress who made diner life deliciously funny and relatable, you've always known how to dish out comedy with style. Your iconic catchphrase "Kiss my grits!" still brings smiles decades later—proof that your humor is timeless.

Beyond Mel's Diner, you've continued to shine on stage and screen alike. Whether captivating audiences in Broadway hits or charming us in recent TV appearances, your talent remains fresh and delightful. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with laughter—and maybe a slice of pie that's easier to handle than Mel’s daily specials!
