Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on February 15, 1971)

Happy Birthday to the wonderful Renee O'Connor! You've swung staffs, conquered mythical foes, and gave life lessons as Gabrielle in Xena: Warrior Princess. Your fantastic representation of strength, humor, and friendship has earned you eternal adoration from warriors and poets (and wannabe warriors!) everywhere. We're pretty sure somewhere right now fans are re-watching your hilarious fish-fighting scene or quoting inspirational lines while attempting moves you made famous.

Yet your charm extends far beyond those epic moments—you continue inspiring us with wisdom at conventions and through your commitment to storytelling. May today bring happiness greater than successfully defeating warlords or escaping perilous comedy mishaps. Cheers Renee—battle onward fabulously!
