Let's make this birthday one to remember.

87 years old (Born on December 04, 1937)

Happy Birthday, David Bailie! From swashbuckling adventures aboard the Black Pearl as the unforgettable Cotton—who knew a mute pirate and his parrot could steal so many scenes?—to your memorable roles in classics like Cutthroat Island and Son of Dracula, you've truly mastered the art of making silence golden (and hilarious!).

May your birthday be filled with laughter louder than Cotton's trusty feathered companion. Here's to celebrating another year of timeless performances, legendary pirate antics, and proving once again that actions—and parrots—speak louder than words. Cheers to you, David; may your treasure chest overflow with joy today!
