Let's make this birthday one to remember.

87 years old (Born on April 13, 1937)

Happy Birthday to the brilliant Lanford Wilson! Your plays have given us unforgettable moments, from the poignant introspection of "Lemon Sky" to the fiery passion and wit in "Burn This." You've shown us that life's complexities can be both deeply moving and delightfully humorous.

Winning a Pulitzer Prize for your masterpiece, "Talley's Folly," was just icing on an already impressive cake. May this birthday bring you as much joy as you've brought audiences worldwide—filled with laughter, inspiration, and perhaps fewer dramatic plot twists than one of your scripts. Here's hoping today is worthy of its own standing ovation!
