Let's make this birthday one to remember.

70 years old (Born on September 20, 1954)

Happy Birthday, Judith Thompson! We hope your celebration is as delightfully biting as that famous White Biting Dog of yours—just with fewer complications and more cake. From crafting unforgettable dialogues to sending chills down our spines in Lion in the Streets, you've given us theatrical gems that'll never lose their roar.

Here's wishing you a birthday filled with characters less complicated than those you brilliantly pen (and easier on the nerves)! May this year spotlight even greater successes—and may all dogs encountered remain friendly ones. Cheers to another fabulous act unfolding for Canada's queen of captivating drama!
