Happy birthday to entertainers like Jennifer Coolidge, Shania Twain, and Jack Black! Keep on reading to see who else is celebrating their birthday and some career highlights!

Celebrity birthday highlights for August 28, 2025:

• Actress Emma Samms (1960) made hearts flutter as Holly Sutton on "General Hospital" and reigned as Fallon Carrington on "Dynasty." She returned to Port Charles in September 2024 for new episodes.

• Actress Jennifer Coolidge (1961) is the comedic MVP behind "American Pie," "Legally Blonde," and the deadpan glory of "Best in Show." Her turn as Tanya in "The White Lotus" proved she can spin laughter into pathos and back again.

• Country singer Shania Twain (1965) released "Come On Over," the best-selling country album ever and the biggest studio album by a solo female artist. From "You're Still the One" to "That Don't Impress Me Much," she set crossover records that still tower over the genre.

• Actor-singer Jack Black of Tenacious D (1969) made mischief his brand from "High Fidelity" to "Nacho Libre" to "The Super Mario Bros. Movie." His love ballad "Peaches" scored Golden Globes and Critics Choice nominations in 2024, and 2025 brought a block-smashing turn in "A Minecraft Movie."

• Country singer LeAnn Rimes (1982) became a teen phenomenon with "Blue" and the crossover juggernaut "How Do I Live," collecting two Grammys along the way. Her crystalline belt helped define late-90s country-pop.
