Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on September 21, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Marsha Norman! May your day be filled with more joy than a Tony-winning musical finale and fewer surprises than the opening night jitters. From crafting powerful dramas like "'Night, Mother" to enchanting audiences with "The Secret Garden," you've given us stories that bloom beautifully on stage—and thankfully require no watering.

Your Pulitzer Prize and Tony Awards prove you're timelessly talented—much like your characters who linger in our hearts long after curtain call. Here's wishing you another year of standing ovations, inspired writing sessions, and perhaps fewer rewrites (though we know that's wishful thinking). Cheers to you!
