"Lily Collins and Adam Levine are among the celebrities who turn a year older today. The day also marks birthdays for many other well‑known figures, from Queen Latifah to comedian Dane Cook. Some of the stars share surprising details: for example, Adam Levine’s middle name is Noah, and Lily Collins once played Edith, the future wife of J. R. R. Tolkien, in a biopic. Queen Latifah will soon return to voice Ellie in the next “Ice Age” movie, while Dane Cook portrayed a superhero called The Waffler in the film “Mystery Men.

” Other notable birthdays include composer John Kander, actor Brad Dourif, jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, and television host Mike Rowe. The list also highlights historic figures born on this day such as President Grover Cleveland and author John Updike.
