Oh man, I hope I look like that when I’m 42. That gives me hope, because I’ve always looked younger than my age… Maybe I’ll do a Shirley Henderson.
Happy B-day, you youthful thing you!
How is it that she can be 42 and flawlessly play a 17-year-old? That’s some good acting! She’s perfect for Myrtle, so I hope she has a perfect birthday!
First Fudge is 80. Myrtle is 42. How old is Ron? 58? Well happy birthday Shirley Henderson and thanks for playing the role of Moaning Myrtle so brilliantly and stealing every scene you’re in.
She’s so lucky to be so young looking! Happy birthday Shirley!
Wow, that’s amazing! I had no idea she was playing young, let alone that young. Holy cow.
Holy cow! I would have never thought she was 42! That is amazing!!
Holy Mackerel!!! 42! Who would have guessed? She also played a great Jude in Bridget Jones (with Renee Zellweger and Gemma Jones). She passes as Myrtle perfectly. With a face like that, I wouldn’t be surprised if she still gets carded for drinks :) Lucky her, and definitely something to aspire to. Happy Birthday, Shirley!
Wow. 42. Had no idea. That’s a good number…the meaning of life, the universe, and everything for that matter. Seeing as no one seems to have had any idea that was how old she was, perhaps it was a typo? That’s irrelevent though. If that’s how old she is, than she certainly is a good actress.
Helios Lightra: No she is indeed actually that old. Not a typo. Impressive huh? Well Happy Birthday to her. :)

If you enjoyed Trainspotting then you should see Shirley in Dirty Filthy Love. She is amazing. A sad/funny/horrifying yet uplifting film.
Omg! Congratulations Shirley, you are 42 years old and you can pass by a ghost of 16! Really impresing.. Happy Birthday.
