Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on July 14, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Maxine Peake! From your unforgettable portrayal in "Hancock & Joan," you've proven that drama and humor can coexist beautifully—much like cake and candles. Your talent shines brighter each year, making us laugh, cry, and occasionally spill our tea.

Whether captivating audiences on stage or screen with your powerful performances or charming everyone with your wit off-camera—you've truly mastered the art of storytelling. May this birthday bring you as much joy as you've brought to countless viewers worldwide; here's hoping it's filled with laughter (and fewer dramatic plot twists than usual). Cheers to another fabulous year ahead!
