Let's make this birthday one to remember.

60 years old (Born on May 08, 1964)

Happy Birthday to the wonderful Melissa Gilbert! From chasing butterflies on prairie fields as Laura Ingalls, you've been charming audiences for decades and greeting every challenge with a smile sweeter than Almanzo Wilder's cake. You've guided us through cheerful prairies and tearful dramas—and we couldn't imagine Walnut Grove without you.

Through your impressive journey from child star to accomplished director, you've consistently shown warmth plus wit both behind and in front of the camera. May this birthday bring you endless joy—after all the pioneer hardships at Plum Creek, if anyone deserves cake-and-laughter-filled celebrations (without any bonnet drama!), it's definitely you!
