Let's make this birthday one to remember.

69 years old (Born on April 03, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Dante Diloreto! May your day be filled with more joy than Sue Sylvester has tracksuits and more laughter than Rachel Berry has solos. Your incredible talent as a screenwriter and executive producer brought us the unforgettable magic of "Glee," proving once again that high school drama is best served musical—and slightly over-the-top.

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success—perhaps another Emmy-worthy hit or at least fewer slushie facials behind the scenes. Keep inspiring audiences everywhere; after all, nobody does show-stopping moments quite like you do. Cheers to many encore performances ahead!
