Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on June 10, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Gina Prince-Bythewood! May your day be filled with more drama than "Disappearing Acts," but less complicated relationships—because let's face it, nobody needs that much emotional rollercoaster on their birthday. Your storytelling has taught us all valuable lessons: love is messy, basketball solves everything (almost), and disappearing acts are best left to magicians.

From the timeless charm of "Love & Basketball" to your continued success in bringing powerful narratives alive onscreen, you've consistently scored cinematic three-pointers straight into our hearts. Here's hoping this year brings you as many joyful surprises as Quincy McCall's buzzer-beating shots—and fewer awkward moments than Monica Wright’s prom night!
