Let's make this birthday one to remember.

65 years old (Born on December 24, 1959)

Happy birthday, Lee Daniels! From the emotionally gripping "Monster's Ball" to groundbreaking hits like “Precious” and “Empire,” your stories have touched our hearts, stirred important conversations—and left us wondering how you always manage such genuine brilliance.

Seriously though—your talent is scary (in the very best way)! Whether navigating complex family dramas or making TV shows everyone obsesses over on social media, you've got a knack for storytelling that’s dazzlingly fearless. May this birthday bring laughter as memorable as Cookie Lyon’s lines and more joyous surprises than award-season buzz. Stay iconic—Hollywood wouldn’t know drama without you!
