Let's make this birthday one to remember.

93 years old (Born on February 07, 1932)

Happy Birthday, Gay Talese! You're the Sinatra of storytelling—always doing it your way. Your sharp pen took us flawlessly backstage with Frank's moody swagger and through Joe DiMaggio’s legendary silent strength at bat.

From grilling celebrities to uncovering life's hidden details for readers in Esquire and The New York Times, you've made literary journalism cooler than a jazzy night spent sipping cocktails with Ol' Blue Eyes himself. May today bring you more iconic hats, impeccable suits—and perhaps one elusive perfect sentence that's worthy enough to make even Joltin’ Joe grin from centerfield.

Cheers to keeping stories timelessly stylish!
