It’s not enough to say Jenifer Lewis is the life of the party. The actress literally is the party with a personality that was so very clearly meant for the stage and any set in Hollywood, whether TV or film. Our generation knows Ms. Lewis for always playing “somebody’s mama” — she currently plays Dre’s on ABC’s Black-ish — but there was a time when the comedian, singer, and activist was a hot young thang running around with some of our most cherished stars. And she wasn’t afraid to show off that body of hers either.

In honor of her 61st birthday today, here are 10 throwback pics of Jenifer Lewis being Jenifer Lewis for no other reason than they will brighten your day.
