Though it’s been some time since psychic and occult dabbler Celeste Perrault has been seen on screen, this Days of our Lives staple remains a vibrant presence off-screen — remember, it was she who first warned Salemites that Stefano was both back in town and not really there. In the real world, performer Tanya Boyd is busy celebrating a major milestone.
Happy Birthday, Tanya Boyd
That’s because she was born on March 20, 1951, in Detroit, Michigan, which means that this beloved actress is turning 73 years old today! Boyd’s passion for acting led her to New York City where she spent years learning and honing her craft.
She eventually relocated to Los Angeles. In 1977, she appeared in two episodes of highly acclaimed mini-series Roots. That was followed by a guest appearance on Good Times and a starring role in the CBS comedy The Ted Knight Show.
Her subsequent work includes an episode of The Twilight Zone and appearances in both feature films (The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood, Wholly Moses!, JoJo Dancer, Your Mother Is Calling) and made-for-TV movies (Walking Through Fire, Murder Can Hurt You, Tricks of the Trade, and the Disappearance of Christina).

Boyd made her DAYS debut on April 11, 1994, and she remained a contract cast member on that sudser until 1999. In 1999, she was dropped to recurring status; her final appearance was in 2007.
