Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on April 24, 1969)

Happy Birthday to the fabulous Melinda Clarke! From ruling Newport Beach as Julie Cooper-Nichol on "The O.C."—the ultimate glamorous mom we loved (and sometimes feared)—you've given us unforgettable moments filled with sass, style, and scandal. Your portrayal made every scene sparkle brighter than a California sunset.

Whether dazzling audiences onscreen or gracing magazine covers as an iconic glamor model and timeless sex symbol, your charisma remains unmatched. Here's hoping your birthday is more drama-free than Julie's love life—but just as exciting! Keep shining bright; you're forever our favorite queen of Orange County glamour. Cheers to you, Melinda!
