Martha Stewart Surprises Kate Mara at Intimate Birthday Party Kate Mara, known for her role in House of Cards and her current series Imperfect Women, shared an unexpected story about how Martha Stewart ended up attending her private birthday celebration. The actress, who turned 43 on February 27, hosted a small gathering at a local movie theater to watch Wuthering Heights with close friends. Mara recounted the incident during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on March 16. She explained that the theater sent an email informing her that a new employee had mistakenly arranged for Martha Stewart to rent the venue. The employee, unaware of the rules, had contacted Martha’s assistant, who then reached out to Mara. Mara described the email as a mix of embarrassment and surprise. The message stated that Martha and her banker, Jane, were eager to join the event and asked to sit in the back row. Mara, initially thinking it was a joke, responded by allowing Martha to attend. The actress revealed that her mother received a separate email from Martha, who expressed interest in joining the celebration. Mara confirmed that Martha ultimately showed up, turning the intimate gathering into an impromptu surprise.
