Let's make this birthday one to remember.

65 years old (Born on January 10, 1960)

Happy Birthday, Jay Russell! From the heartfelt heroics of "Ladder 49" to the timeless charm of "My Dog Skip," you've given us stories that tug at our heartstrings and remind us why we love cinema. Your films have taught us valuable lessons—like never underestimate a dog's ability to steal both scenes and hearts.

May your birthday be filled with as much warmth, laughter, and adventure as you’ve brought audiences over the years. Here's hoping this year brings even more success—and perhaps another canine co-star who can rival Skip's legendary charisma. Cheers to many more memorable moments ahead!
