Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on July 27, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Taylor Schilling! From your captivating role in *The Lucky One* to the unforgettable Piper Chapman we laughed and cried with on *Orange Is the New Black*, you've left us thoroughly entertained and hopelessly addicted. Seriously, your ability to deliver drama with a dash of humor is so good that sometimes we weren’t sure if we were supposed to laugh or cry—so naturally, we did both.

Watching you evolve onscreen has been an amazing ride. Whatever project you choose next will inevitably shine brighter than Piper’s prison jumpsuit (and that's saying something!). Here's hoping this upcoming year brings plenty more laughter, awards-worthy moments—and fewer orange outfits. Cheers!
