Let's make this birthday one to remember.

58 years old (Born on September 14, 1966)

Happy Birthday, Daisy von Scherler Mayer! May your day be as delightfully whimsical and charmingly mischievous as Madeline herself. Your brilliant direction brought our favorite Parisian schoolgirl to life, teaching us all that bravery comes in small packages—and sometimes wears a yellow hat.

From capturing the timeless adventures of twelve little girls in two straight lines to inspiring countless smiles (and perhaps a few spontaneous trips to France), you've given audiences memories they'll cherish forever. Here's hoping this birthday is filled with laughter, joy, and fewer mishaps than Miss Clavel had managing her spirited students!

Cheers to you!
