Let's make this birthday one to remember.

89 years old (Born on September 21, 1935)

Happy birthday to the forever fabulous Sigrid Valdis! Who else could have charmed audiences so effortlessly, managing Colonel Klink and Sergeant Schultz with poise, sassiness, and impeccable comedic timing? Hogan's Heroes simply wouldn't be complete without your witty banter and graceful presence at Stalag 13.

While every episode featuring Hilda sparkled brighter thanks to you, it's your timeless charisma that still brings joy today. You've crafted unforgettable TV moments filled with warmth and laughter—making wheelings-and-dealings behind enemy lines look ridiculously charming! May this celebration match all those iconic scenes you've gifted us. Cheers to continued success (and no Allied plots interrupting this party)!
