Claire Danes celebrates birthday number 37 today. We've watched her go from "My So-Called Life" to "My so-called Homeland." These days, she helps us realize everything that could possibly go wrong with terrorism in "Homeland."

Shannon Doherty turns 45 today. That's 135 in actress years. She's got a reputation for being a bit of head case in Hollywood. She's worked hard to get that.

David Cassidy of the Partridge Family turns 66 today. Back in the 70s, he was a heart throb. Now that's a condition he watches out for.

David Letterman turns 69 today. He once had a great line on his former "Late Night" show, when Eva Longoria almost popped out of her skimpy outfit -- "Well, there goes our liquor license!"

Happy Birthday to Ed O'Neil who turns the big 7-0 today. Since Sophia Vergara is his TV wife, no presents are necessary.
