Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on August 19, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Dawn Steel! They say "They Can Kill You But They Can't Eat You," and clearly you've taken that advice to heart—surviving Hollywood with style, wit, and a sense of humor sharper than any studio exec's glare. Your fearless leadership continues to inspire us all; after all these years in the industry jungle, you're still standing tall (and uneaten!).

From your groundbreaking successes as one of Hollywood’s first female studio heads to your recent triumphs mentoring new talent—you've proven time and again that resilience is always fashionable. Here's hoping this birthday brings you laughter brighter than marquee lights—and cake tastier than box-office success!
