Debra Messing is celebrating her 57th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.
Popular actress Debra Messing (Smash, Will & Grace, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 57th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.
Messing, a cultural icon
Born Debra Lynn Messing in New York on August 15, 1968, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Messing's not just a great actress, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Debra hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Debra Messing as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 57.
Happy Birthday, Debra, you're the best!
