In the caption, she wrote: "Cheers to another beautiful lap around the sun! Thanks for the sweet birthday messages, everyone!"

Michelle and her husband David E. Kelley have been together for 29 years

It's been a busy few years for Michelle, following her return to Hollywood in 2021 after a five-year break. 

She came back to acting to star in dark comedy French Exit, and has been working on a number of high-profile projects ever since. Discussing her return in Town & Country magazine at the time, she said: "I realized my daughter was looking at colleges, and I saw the writing on the wall. I thought. This is going to hit me really hard. It’s time for me to get back into moviemaking…Your seat is never saved in this industry. It’s very competitive.

Michelle took a break from Hollywood for a while

"There’s that transition time when you’re not the ingenue and you’re not really old enough to be the grandmother—you’re not old enough to play Frances. 

"I'm at an age when the parts are getting more interesting again for me. I guess the timing of it really worked out, because I don't feel I missed out on much."
