Today we celebrate the birthday of actress Shirley Henderson, who portrays the ghost of Moaning Myrtle in the Harry Potter films. Everyone, please raise your glasses to toast Miss Henderson on her 42nd birthday this evening. Cheers, Shirley!
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!
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.
My, oh my! Let me add my praise, for her youthful appearance, too! You, Ms Shirley, are one beautiful YOUNG lady and wonderful actress, to boot. The kind anyone would aspire to! A happy and wonderful birthday! May your years always be kind and your dreams come true!
