Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on July 18, 1976)

Happy Birthday, Valerie Cruz! From your unforgettable portrayal of Dr. Grace Santiago on "Nip/Tuck," you've stitched yourself into our hearts with surgical precision and charm. Your talent for bringing depth to every character has made us laugh, gasp, and occasionally question our own sanity—thank you!

Here's wishing you another year filled with exciting roles, memorable moments, and fewer awkward patient consultations (though those do make great TV!). May this birthday be as fabulous as your performances—and may the coming years bring even more success that leaves audiences captivated. Cheers to a timeless star who always keeps it real!
