Lana Parrilla Birthday

Happy Birthday to one of the greatest people ever Lana Parrilla. She is quite an amazing human being. When you think of Lana what comes to mind?




One thing that definitely comes to our minds is Lana's role as Regina Mills from Once Upon a Time.

Regina in the fairytale world was known as the Evil Queen. Regina wasn't evil , she was very misunderstood. If people really got to know her and her story they would see how broken she was.

Regina was destined to be queen according to her mother Cora and she would stop at nothing to  make sure her daughter became queen. Even if that meant killing her first love Daniel.

This led Regina on the path of destruction, thus everyone giving her the name The Evil Queen.

Nobody bothered to get to really know Regina. She lived a very lonely life for a long time, but eventually got on the road to redemption.

She had finally found her happiness, even if that meant casting the dark curse.

Literally one could go on all day talking about Regina and how awesome she is and also how life screwed her over.

. Emma keeping Henry from her
. Robin Hood Dying
. Having to let go of Daniel a second time.

That's just to name a few.

I think why people gravitate more toward Regina than the other characters is because she is multi layered and Lana portrayed her flawlessly . Regina isn't defined by one label. She isn't a villain like others might think . Usually people think a villain is a villain that must make them evil, but they never stop and think what made them that way? Regina was an outcast and nobody believed in her . Often she tried to change but it was never good enough. Her complicated relationship with her parents is enough to send anyone over the edge.

Through it all Regina won. She proved everyone wrong and she became the savior. She saved the citizens of Storybrooke countless times . Regina deserved happiness she deserved to be with her soulmate Robin Hood ( yeah we all wished that). She taught us that your happy ending doesn't mean you have to fall in love. Finding your happy ending or new beginning can be a road to self discovery. Figuring out who you are and who you were always meant to be . True love doesn't have to be between a prince and princess , it can be between mother and son.

Most importantly Regina taught us to love ourselves.

Lana is a extradinary human being. She is very generous and always gives back to those that need it. We will often see her at charity events or see her supporting different causes. It just shows how truly amazing she is.

She also loves meeting her fans just as much as we love meeting here. Lana has impacted so many of her fans lives and changed them for the better. I know many that have struggled including myself who wouldn't be alive today if it weren't for her. Lana is just one of those rare people that you come across who loves and accepts everyone she meets. She is non judgmental and very patient with us when we are nervous to talk to our hero.

For all Lana does for us I hope each and every Evil Regal can take time out of their day to wish Lana a happy birthday.



Happy Birthday Lana thank you for all that you do for us. I cant wait until I get to meet you again. Never change cause you are perfect the way you are... the rainbow in our clouds
