Although Wikipedia doesn’t list Kiersten Warren as a character actress, looking her up on IMDb definitely resulted in an “Oh HER!” moment for me. Warren has been acting since 1987, when she made her TV debut on an episode of Magnum, P.I. During the late 80s and early 90s, Warren acted exclusively on television in shows such as Life Goes On and Saved by the Bell: The College Years. She made her film debut in 1996’s Independence Day, and has since played roles in such films as Pushing Tin, Bicentennial Man, Intolerable Cruelty, 13 Going on 30, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, and The Astronaut Farmer. She also played a significant role on Desperate Housewives. Kiersten Warren turns 47 today.
