Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on June 25, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Ernest Dickerson! From crafting unforgettable visuals in "Never Die Alone," bringing DMX's gritty charisma to life on screen and brilliantly adapting Donald Goines' raw storytelling—your cinematic touch remains timeless. Your films continue to captivate audiences with their authenticity and style.

May your birthday be as legendary as the scenes you've directed, filled with laughter brighter than set lights—and cake sweeter than box-office success. Here's hoping this year brings you more thrilling stories (and fewer retakes). Keep inspiring us all; after all these years behind the camera, you're still directing life's best moments!

Cheers to another blockbuster year ahead!
