Happy Birthday! The Walking Dead’s Danai Gurira Turns 37 Today

Today is Danai Gurira’s birthday.

Best known for her current role as Michonne, the sword-swinging powerhouse from The Walking Dead, Gurira has acted as far back as 2004. After a number of small roles, Gurira made her big break with Treme, the HBO series about a post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans. She played the role of Jill in that series.

Gruyere became a regular cast member of The Walking Dead during its third season, where she aided Andrea through the Governor’s town of Woodbury. Since her debut, Gurira has risen to become one of the series’ biggest stars.

Danai Gurira was born on February 14, 1978 in Grinnell, Iowa, and she turns 37 years old today.

Happy Birthday, Danai Gurira.
