Billie Piper, who turns 34 today, began her entertainment career as a British teenage pop star. When her first single debuted at #1 on the British charts in 1998, she became the youngest singer ever to achieve that particular success. After a few years in music, Piper decided to switch to acting. At about that time, the BBC decided to revive Doctor Who, with Christopher Eccleston cast as the latest incarnation of the title character, aka the Ninth Doctor. Piper was cast as his companion, Rose Tyler (http://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/billie-piper/258588/the-best-tv-performances-of-billie-piper); when Eccleston left the series, Piper continued to play Rose opposite the Tenth Doctor, David Tennant.
