Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on August 15, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Michelle Dockery! From your impeccable portrayal of Lady Mary Crawley in "Downton Abbey," you've taught us all how to deliver a witty comeback with elegance and poise. Whether navigating aristocratic drama or mastering the art of subtle eye-rolls, you’ve made high society sass an absolute delight.

Recently dazzling audiences again in Netflix's gripping thriller "Anatomy of a Scandal," you've proven once more that corsets aren't required for captivating performances—though we suspect you'd still rock one effortlessly. Here's wishing you another year filled with memorable roles, endless applause, and perhaps fewer complicated family dinners than at Downton!
