Guess Who’s Birthday It Is? September 28 Birthday Party!

Hilary Duff bounced into fame as everyone’s favorite teen star. She rocked the music charts with her hit album Metamorphosis and now kills it on the show Younger. Oh, and did I mention she writes kids’ books too? Fun fact: She started out dancing in a touring ballet for The Nutcracker before becoming a TV and movie favorite.

Naomi Watts is basically the emotion whisperer. She wowed us in Mulholland Drive and snagged two Oscar nods (pretty cool, right?). Beyond acting, she’s all about raising awareness for menopause. And here’s a wild tidbit: Her dad’s laugh made it onto Pink Floyd’s epic album The Dark Side of the Moon. Legendary!

Young Jeezy helped make trap music what it is today—with that gravelly voice we can’t forget. His Billboard hits were next-level, and he didn’t stop there: booze and fashion lines? Yep. Oh, and he’s an author too! Bonus fact: He dropped “Young” from his name in 2013 because, well, he’s not a kid anymore.

Mira Sorvino brought laughs and tears to the big screen and snagged an Oscar for Mighty Aphrodite. She’s also a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, fighting human trafficking like a boss. Oh, and she’s fluent in Mandarin—for real! Childhood fun fact: She used to write and perform backyard plays with her friend Hope Davis.

St. Vincent is like the guitar hero you never knew you needed. She’s got a Grammy, a ton of cool awards, and even her own signature guitar line. Also, she’s dabbled in directing spooky movie bits. Her stage name? Inspired by a Nick Cave song about a hospital. Sounds mysterious, right?

Dita Von Teese brought burlesque back like a boss, turning retro glam into a worldwide brand. She’s launched fashion lines, toured the globe, and even dances en pointe during her shows. Wild story: Playboy once messed up her last name on a cover, and voilà—Dita Von Teese was born!

Janeane Garofalo is the master of sharp, self-deprecating humor. She blew us away on The Larry Sanders Show and even lent her voice to Pixar’s Ratatouille. Plus, the animated show Daria was inspired by her! Oh, and she co-wrote a hilarious self-help parody that’s a must-read.

Frankie Jonas made a name for himself with his fun online vibes and cool voice work in Ponyo. He also co-hosted the reality show Claim to Fame and drops his own music. Here’s a twist: He studied astrophysics at Columbia, just in case the celeb life needed a backup plan!

Melody Thornton wowed fans as a star in The Pussycat Dolls and showed off her solo chops too. She nailed the role of Rachel Marron in The Bodyguard on stage and even won The Masked Singer Australia. Fun fact: She was the only Pussycat Doll to join without formal dance training. Talk about natural talent!

Keir Gilchrist nails roles as complex outsiders, stealing scenes in Atypical and the creepy flick It Follows. But here’s a surprise—he’s also the frontman of not one, but two heavy metal bands. Bonus: His brother Evan acts too, with a role in a monster movie. Talent runs in the family!
