She wrote:

"I thought I’d be in San Diego by now – retired, cocktail in hand, cabana boy on call."

In the comment section of the post, several of her fellow actors wished her on her special day. Two of her former "Sister, Sister" co-stars also wrote their wishes. Tim Reid, who played the role of Ray Campbell in the beloved sitcom that aired on ABC and later on WB for five years, from 1994 to 1999, wrote:

"Happy Bornday to this talented and wonderful woman who always challenged me to be a better performer. Love you madly 🎉👊🏽🤎🤎🤎🤎🌹."

Jackée Harry won an Emmy Award in 1987 in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category for her portrayal of Sandra Clark in the show 227. In a 2024 interview with People Magazine, Harry reflected on the historic win and said:

"I wasn’t aware that I could win or would win because I wasn't thinking that way," she says. "I was coming in hot - I knew that! But I didn't fully appreciate the scope. It was happening to me; I was observing it. In retrospect, now I know how important it was, but I didn't see it coming at all - but I did see success."

Jackée Harry added in her Instagram post that she is grateful to still do what she loves, and thanked her fans for their continued support. She wrote:

"But child… I’m still here, still laughing, still blessed to do what I love and call it work. Now THAT’S the real happy hour. Thanks for all the birthday wishes and continued support! Luv ya much!!! 💖."
