Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on June 09, 1939)

Happy Birthday, Charles Webb! Your pen gave life to the iconic "The Graduate," giving generations a humorous perspective on adulthood and awkward family dinners. Thanks for showing us that sometimes life's biggest lessons really do happen at graduation parties.

From anxiety-ridden stockbrokers in "The Marriage of a Young Stockbroker" to small-town adventures in "New Cardiff," your unique humor made ordinary people feel extraordinary. The stories you've created are timeless gifts—we celebrate your wit, warmth, and sharp satire today! Here's hoping this birthday brings you more laughs than Benjamin Braddock trying (unsuccessfully) to navigate adulthood—after all, you're clearly still graduating with flying colors!
