Celebrity birthday highlights for July 23, 2026:
Actor Woody Harrelson (1961) got his big break slinging drinks as dim bartender Woody Boyd on "Cheers" and picked up Oscar nominations for "The People vs. Larry Flynt" and "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri." He played Haymitch across the "Hunger Games" films and got the Four Horsemen back together in "Now You See Me: Now You Don't."
Guitarist Slash (1965) powered Guns N' Roses' "Appetite for Destruction" under his signature top hat and turned "Sweet Child o' Mine" and "Welcome to the Jungle" into stadium anthems. He's toured for decades with Velvet Revolver and his own band and dug into the blues on "Orgy of the Damned."
Actor-comedian Marlon Wayans (1972) built his family's comedy brand with "Scary Movie" and went undercover in whiteface in "White Chicks." He co-starred in "Air," went full horror in "Him," and slid back into Shorty Meeks for this year's "Scary Movie."
Actress Kathryn Hahn (1973) stole scenes in comedies from "Step Brothers" to "Bad Moms" before going gleefully witchy as Agatha Harkness on "WandaVision." She got her own spinoff with "Agatha All Along" and won raves for "Tiny Beautiful Things."
Singer Michelle Williams (1979) helped make Destiny's Child one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, then went No. 1 on the gospel chart with "Heart to Yours." She played Viola Van Horn on Broadway in "Death Becomes Her" and turned up on Fox's "We Are Family."
Actor Daniel Radcliffe (1989) grew up on screen as boy wizard Harry Potter and later played a farting corpse in "Swiss Army Man" and Weird Al himself in "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story." He won the 2024 Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for "Merrily We Roll Along," and the filmed version hit theaters in 2025.
