Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on November 26, 1942)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Olivia Cole! Your groundbreaking Emmy-winning performance in "Roots" not only captivated audiences but also paved the way for countless talented actresses who followed. Who knew that portraying Mathilda would make television history and inspire generations?

Your incredible talent, grace, and humor have left an indelible mark on Hollywood. From your memorable roles throughout the '70s to your continued influence today, you've shown us all how it's done—with style and a smile. Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter, joy, and perhaps fewer dramatic scenes (unless they're award-worthy again!). Cheers to you!
