Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on November 27, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Kathryn Bigelow! From creating cinematic waves with Keanu Reeves surfing in "Point Break," to capturing intense tensions defusing bombs in the unforgettable thriller "The Hurt Locker," your films keep audiences gripping their seats. Your unique ability to blend adrenaline-pumping action and deep storytelling makes us rethink popcorn-eating strategies: tension first, munch carefully later!

And just when we thought things couldn't get more nail-biting than Jeremy Renner dismantling explosives under pressure, you delivered stunning suspense chasing Bin Laden's trail in "Zero Dark Thirty." May this birthday bring as much excitement (minus explosions) as you've generously sent our way on-screen!
