Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on August 17, 1968)

Happy Birthday to the fabulous Orlagh Cassidy! Whether you're scheming as Doris Wolfe on "Guiding Light," or bringing intensity and charm to shows like "Law & Order" and "Blue Bloods," you always steal the spotlight. Your talent for portraying strong, memorable characters has kept us entertained—and occasionally terrified—in all the best ways.

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with fewer courtroom dramas than usual (unless cake theft counts!) and more joyful celebrations worthy of a daytime Emmy winner. May this year bring even greater roles, endless applause, and plenty of hilarious bloopers behind-the-scenes—we know you've got them!
