Celebrity birthday highlights for August 21, 2025:

- Actress Loretta Devine (1949) brought warmth and steel to "Waiting to Exhale," "The Preacher's Wife," and a parade of scene-stealing TV roles. Lately viewers have caught her running the household as M'Dear in "Family Reunion," and dispensing tough love as Ernestine on "P-Valley."

- Actress Kim Cattrall (1956) lit up movies like "Mannequin," "Big Trouble in Little China," and made Samantha Jones in "Sex and the City" a pop-culture icon and won a Golden Globe for the role. In 2023, she fronted Netflix's "Glamorous."

- Actress Carrie-Anne Moss (1967) made Trinity in "The Matrix" a sci-fi archetype and earned acclaim with "Memento." In 2024 she joined the Star Wars galaxy as Jedi Master Indara in "The Acolyte," showing the same precision she brought to bullet time.

- Businessman Sergey Brin (1973) co-founded Google and took it from a Stanford project to a world-spanning company and remains on Alphabet’s board. Since 2023, he's been reengaging directly with researchers to push Google’s next-gen AI, including work around Gemini.

- Musician Kacey Musgraves (1988) keeps genre lines soft, floating from twang to folk with ease across albums and collaborations. She scored a 2024 Grammy with Zach Bryan for "I Remember Everything," and followed with a Deeper Well world tour supporting her new album.
