Remembering #HaydenPanettiere, who died this week, on her birthday. The actor, producer, and singer was a dynamic performer as a child on #OneLifetoLive and #RemembertheTitans through #Heroes, #Nashville, and more recently #ScreamVI. May she rest in peace.

Happy birthday, #LorettaDevine! The Texas native, who originated the role of Lorrell in the Broadway musical "Dreamgirls," has dazzled on film and TV screens as well, starring in #WaitingtoExhale, #ForColoredGirls, #BostonPublic, and winning a Primetime Emmy (#GreysAnatomy).

Happy birthday to three-time Oscar nominee #JoanAllen! Recently in Netflix's #ZeroDay, she's added layers to a first lady (#Nixon), an embattled senator (#TheContender), a colonist (#TheCrucible), and a mom with a colorful life (#Pleasantville). What's your favorite film of hers?

Happy birthday to six-time Oscar nominee #AmyAdams! She's charmed us as a Disney-like princess and a tenacious Lois Lane but we admire her range in indies such as #Junebug to thrillers (#SharpObjects, #CapeFear) and sci-fi (#Arrival). What's your favorite role of hers?
