Melissa McCarthy is turning the BIG 5-0 today people and honestly, I cannot believe it!
Not only does the actress not look a DAY over 35, but she radiates the most fun and youthful energy!
However, when you look at Melissa’s iconic and LONG career, you start to wonder how she isn’t 102 considering how many amazing acting gigs she’s had!
Melissa first gained recognition on the hit show *Gilmore Girls* as Sookie St. James.
She then went on to star on the hit comedy Mike & Molly which landed her a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series back in 2011.
Of course, her most iconic role is PROBABLY as the mouthy, HILARIOUS Megan Price in *Bridesmaids*.
The critical acclaim for the performance landed Melissa an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress, as she deserved !!!!!
This is not even mentioning all her iconic character bits on *Saturday Night Live* which are truly some of the funniest performances that show has ever seen.

Happy birthday to a true comedy queen!
