Let's make this birthday one to remember.

94 years old (Born on November 05, 1930)

Happy Birthday, Clifford Irving! Your storytelling skills are legendary—after all, who else could craft an autobiography so convincing that even Howard Hughes himself had to step out of hiding just to dispute it? Truly a literary feat unmatched in creativity and audacity.

Though your investigative reporting once landed you behind bars for two-and-a-half years (talk about dedication!), you've certainly secured yourself a unique place in publishing history. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer lawsuits and more cake—and remember: if anyone questions the authenticity of your age today, we promise not to demand proof from Mr. Hughes again!
