10 Celebs Who Were Born On August 14 and Are Basically Awesome

Halle Berry has been captivating us for decades. She snagged an Academy Award for Monster’s Ball and was the electrifying Storm in X-Men. Oh, and she’s a big fan of women’s health stuff. Fun twist: she lost most of the hearing in her right ear after a messy breakup, but that didn’t slow her down one bit.

Steve Martin brought weird and hilarious comedy to the masses in the ’70s. You know him from The Jerk and Parenthood, plus the hit show Only Murders in the Building. Back in the day, he worked at Disneyland’s magic shop where he picked up juggling, magic tricks, and banjo playing — talk about a fun job!

Mila Kunis gave us laughs as Jackie on That ’70s Show and wowed in Black Swan. She’s also the voice of Meg on Family Guy—can you believe it? Oh, and here’s a fun eyeball fact: her two eyes aren’t the same color. One’s brown, the other’s green. Talk about standing out!

Marcia Gay Harden is an all-star actress who’s killed it on stage and screen. She won an Oscar for Pollock and a Tony for God of Carnage. Bonus cool hobby: she’s an ace at pottery — yep, she learned it back in high school and digs it to this day.

Doechii’s energy is next level. Hailing from Tampa, she blew up with "Yucky Blucky Fruitcake" and snagged a Grammy for her mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal. Also, her stage name? Made it up in middle school just to tackle bullies. Genius, right?

Sarah Brightman is the queen of blending classical and pop music. Her role as Christine in The Phantom of the Opera is legendary, and that duet "Time to Say Goodbye"? Pure magic. But before all that, she was dancing disco in the ‘70s with Hot Gossip — she even scored a UK top ten hit. Talk about reinvention!

Lamorne Morris made Winston Bishop on New Girl unforgettable. He’s got comedy chops and dramatic skills too (hello, Emmy for Fargo!). Oh, and before acting, he was a server at Ed Debevic’s, where the staff is playfully rude — it’s a restaurant, but also a show!

Jackée Harry is pure TV gold, winning an Emmy for 227 and starring on Sister, Sister. But before the fame, she spent two years teaching American history at a high school in Brooklyn — talk about a plot twist!

Spencer Pratt shook up MTV’s The Hills with some serious drama. But he didn’t stop there — after losing his home in a fire, he threw his hat into the ring for Mayor of Los Angeles in 2026. Not your everyday reality star move, huh?

Tracy Caldwell Dyson isn’t your average human. She’s a chemist, a NASA astronaut, and has spent over 370 days floating in space. Plus, she’s fluent in American Sign Language and can chit-chat in Russian. Little fun space fact: she’s the first astronaut born after the Apollo 11 moon landing. Space coolness overload!
