Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on May 10, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Maureen Lipman! From your unforgettable wit in "Ladies of Letters" to the delightful charm you brought as Evelyn Plummer on Coronation Street, you've consistently brightened our screens. Your comedic timing and sharp delivery have made even ordinary moments extraordinary—who else could make letter-writing feel like an Olympic sport?

Here's wishing you a birthday filled with laughter (as much as you've given us), joy (equaling Vera's enthusiasm for gossip!), and success continuing well beyond Weatherfield. May this year bring more memorable roles, hilarious lines, and perhaps fewer letters—but only if emails promise equal hilarity! Cheers to timeless talent!
