Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on June 19, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Zoe Saldana! Wishing a stellar day to the actress who's boldly ventured where few have gone before—from gracefully battling off aliens as Lt. Uhura in "Star Trek" to dazzling us with rhythm as Laila in "Drumline." Whether you're elegantly decoding alien languages or directing marching bands, you always bring memorable charm and fierce talent to each performance.

May your special day be filled with laughter and joy (and perhaps a spaceship ride—insurance permitting). Here's hoping this year boldly takes you to even greater galaxies of success, because let's face it: the universe definitely needs more Zoe!
