Candle Blowers

This young lady right here put in quite a performance in 2006’s touching movie, Akeelah and the Bee, playing the title role. Okay, so I haven’t see the movie, but I’ve heard wonderful things about it and Oprah recommended it, so you know it must be good. Anyway, back to our birthday girl, Keke Palmer, who turns 15 today.
