This is my 51st birthday, McKellar wrote in her post. No makeup, no filters, just natural light and a healthy lifestyle to look my best and, most importantly, feel good.

I feel extremely blessed today. And a fun fact: 51 is not a prime number; 3 x 17 = 51, said McKellar, who besides being an actress is also a renowned author of math books.

Fans and friends quickly filled her Instagram post with affectionate comments and congratulations. Among them were host Mario Lopez and actress Candace Cameron Bure, who congratulated McKellar and praised her, saying she is a beauty inside and out.
