Julie Cooper's Greatest Moments From The O.C.

    In honor of Melinda Clarke's birthday, here are all the reasons Julie Cooper-Nichol-Cooper-Almost Roberts-Almost Bullit-Maybe Atwood was the most H.B.I.C character to grace The O.C.

    Julie Cooper might have had some problems. Okay, a lot of problems.

    But she was one of the funniest characters on the show.

    Her friendship with Kirsten might have been one of the best friendships on the show.

    Success!

    She just wanted to be a cool mom!

    She even had her great mom moments.

    She ran Newport Beach.

    She even went to college. Talk about character development.

    Happy birthday Melinda Clarke! Stay badass.
