Let's make this birthday one to remember.

46 years old (Born on November 01, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Mary Kate Schellhardt! From charming us all as Ellen Grape in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape," you've proven that grapes aren't just for wine—they're also perfect ingredients for timeless cinema magic. Your performance remains unforgettable and continues to resonate with audiences everywhere.

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with laughter brighter than the spotlight you effortlessly command on screen. May this year bring even more memorable roles, joyful moments behind-the-scenes, and perhaps fewer questions about what's actually eating Gilbert!

Cheers to another fantastic trip around the sun—may it be award-worthy both onscreen and off!
