Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on June 01, 1939)

Happy birthday to the unforgettable Cleavon Little! Your iconic portrayal of Sheriff Bart in Mel Brooks' "Blazing Saddles" still has us laughing decades later. From your quick wit and impeccable comedic timing, you taught us all how humor can break barriers—and that beans around a campfire are always risky business.

Your legacy continues to inspire laughter and courage, reminding audiences everywhere that comedy is timeless when delivered with charm like yours. On this special day, we tip our hats (and saddles) to you—may your memory keep riding high through cinematic history as brilliantly as ever!
