Let's make this birthday one to remember.

65 years old (Born on August 01, 1959)

Happy Birthday, Jean Smith! Riot grrrl icon, Mecca Normal's fearless front-woman—your voice has shaken stages and inspired countless rebels. Whether you're painting vivid canvases or penning novels that ignite minds, your creativity knows no bounds. Honestly, we're still recovering from the brilliance of your latest film project; is there anything you can't do?

Here's to another year of smashing expectations and redefining art on every platform imaginable. May this birthday be as fierce and fabulous as a Mecca Normal encore—and may it involve fewer paint spills than last year's celebration (though we admit those were pretty legendary).
