Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on July 07, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Michele Santopietro! From ruling the halls in "Prom Queens" to captivating daytime drama fans on "Port Charles" and "As the World Turns," you've proven your versatility time after time. Whether you're charming audiences as Laura in “Two Family House” or braving harsh winters (and harsher appetites!) in “The Donner Party,” you always leave us wanting more.

Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer soap opera twists than usual—no evil twins, surprise amnesia plots, or dramatic cliffhangers allowed today! May your year ahead be filled with laughter worthy of a prom queen's crown and adventures far less perilous than crossing snowy mountainsides. Cheers to another fabulous chapter starring YOU!
