We think of milestone birthdays as ones that end in zero up until the age of 70 and then those that are divisible by five after that, and we believe they deserve a special shout out. In our look at December celebrity birthdays, we discovered eight women who are hitting milestones. Let’s raise a glass to them and any special December babies you know.

Bette Midler, Dec. 1st: 75 years old

We can’t decide if we love The Divine Miss M better as an actress or a singer. But then we realize we don’t have to decide. We can enjoy her triumphs on the screen–including her recent turn as Bella Abzug in The Glorias–and her soaring voice on her many, many albums. Best of all is when we get both the actress and singer in one package, such as in Beaches and The Rose.

Sarah Silverman, Dec. 1st: 50 years old

As someone who has never met a social taboo she’s not willing to needle, Sarah Silverman doesn’t seem scared of anything. So we highly doubt she’s anxious about turning the Big 5-0. Actually, we imagine she’ll face aging with her signature sarcasm. So be prepared for her to prompt some big knowing laughs in the future.

Julianne Moore, Dec 3rd: 60 years old

The New York Times just named Julianne Moore as one of the Greatest Actors of the Century. Not a bad way to mark 60 years on the planet. “Moore can externalize a character’s interior state beautifully, so you see feelings surface on her skin,” said the film critic A.O. Scott. She won her Oscar for Best Actress playing an Alzheimer’s patient in Still Alice, but we probably love her best as the doomed housewife in The Hours and, in a completely different role, as the seductress in The Big Lebowski.

Daryl Hannah, Dec. 3rd: 60 years old

She first came to our attention in Blade Runner and then in the unforgettable mermaid role in Splash. Daryl Hannah has been in many memorable movies of our early adulthood and had headline-making affairs with JFK Jr. and Jackson Browne. More recently, she played the other woman in the break up of Neil Young’s long marriage, which certainly makes us sad. Lately, she’s known for her activism for climate change action, and for that, we truly applaud her.

Jennifer Connelly: Dec. 12th, 50 years old

She’s been named one of the most beautiful women in the world by the likes of Esquire and Vanity Fair, and we’re not going to argue that Jennifer Connelly isn’t gorgeous. But we admire her for the intelligence she brings to her roles, most specifically as Alicia Nash in A Beautiful Mind, which won her a supporting actor Oscar. That’s also the movie that brought her together with her husband actor Paul Bellamy. Their marriage has lasted 17 years and produced two children. All in all, she seems to have a nicely balanced life, which is a good state to be in at the half-century mark.

Regina Hall, Dec. 12th, 50 years old

Another wonderful actress marks five decades on the same day. Regina Hall is probably best known for her roles in the TV shows Ally McBeal and Black Monday, and for starring in the Scary Movie series of films. Hall has also dedicated herself to raising awareness of scerloderma, a rare autoimmune disease that her mother suffers from. When she’s not on set somewhere, she volunteers twice a week at a senior home in L.A. We love that she has time and the heart for such hands-on work.

Milla Jovovich, Dec. 17th, 45 years old

Welcome to the NextTribe age, Milla Jovovich! At one point, the Ukranian-born Jovovich was the highest paid model in the world, having started her career in front of the camera at age 12 (is that even legal?). After modeling came acting, and one of her first films was as the title character in The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc. What a way to start out, right? Since she’s still so young (really!), we look forward to seeing what she does next.

Diane Sawyer, Dec. 22nd, 75 years old

Sophistication, beauty, and smarts have made Diane Sawyer an icon since she first appeared as a correspondent for CBS News back in 1980. Her stature has grown as she became the first female correspondent for 60 Minutes and then as the anchor for ABC’s Nightly News starting in 2009. Marriage to legendary director Mike Nichols in 1988 anointed her life with even more glamour. Though she lost him in 2014, we’re happy she still has her work at ABC, where she continues to produce documentaries and interview specials. Brava Diane on such an amazing, full life!
