Celebrity birthday highlights for March 11, 2026:

Actress Alex Kingston (1963) effortlessly evolved from a breakout star in "The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders" to an essential cast member on "ER" before time-traveling into our hearts as River Song on "Doctor Who." She traded the Tardis for the ballroom to compete on "Strictly Come Dancing" in late 2025 and authored the interactive novel "Doctor Who: Stormcage."

Singer Lisa Loeb (1968) captured the angst of a generation with her runaway hit "Stay (I Missed You)," making Billboard history before she even signed a record deal. She now hosts her SiriusXM show "Stay with Lisa Loeb" and dropped the collaborative album "That's What It's All About" in 2024.

Actor Terrence Howard (1969) grabbed Hollywood's attention with gritty turns in "Hustle & Flow" and "Crash" before ruling prime time television as Lucious Lyon on "Empire."

Actor Johnny Knoxville (1971) turned backyard stunts into a global phenomenon by creating and starring in the beautifully chaotic "Jackass" franchise. He is keeping the adrenaline pumping by hosting the "Fear Factor: House of Fear" reboot and prepping a fifth "Jackass" film for a 2026 release.

Singer LeToya Luckett (1981) first conquered the airwaves as a founding member of Destiny's Child before proving her solo star power with the platinum album "LeToya."
