What’s a successful actress to do when she turns 40? Host an intimate dinner with friends that’s sponsored by Courvoisier Gold—or at least that’s what Gabrielle Union did. The star of BET’s upcoming drama Being Mary Jane, toasted her milestone a week early (her actual birthday is October 29) with a few close friends at New York City’s swanky PH-D Rooftop Lounge at Dream Downtown.

Guests at the event included Jaleel White, DJ Nix, Miss Info, Chenoa Maxwell, Adair Curtis, Shawn Pecas, and Chef Roble, who cooked the evening’s four course meal.
