Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on February 19, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Luis Puenzo! May your day be filled with more applause than an Oscar-winning premiere and fewer retakes than a stubborn actor demands. Your cinematic brilliance has given Argentina—and the world—films that are timeless masterpieces; after all, winning the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1985 is no small feat!

Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy and success behind the camera as you've brought to audiences worldwide. Keep directing life's scenes flawlessly—but remember: today you're allowed at least one blooper reel moment (or two). Cheers to another award-worthy trip around the sun!
