Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on November 07, 1939)

Happy Birthday, Martin Davidson! Another year older and wiser—though we suspect you're secretly scripting your birthdays to stay forever young. From crafting compelling drama on "Chicago Hope" to bringing heartfelt storytelling alive in "Judging Amy," you've directed our emotions better than most of us direct traffic.

May this birthday be filled with more plot twists than a season finale and fewer cliffhangers about where you left the car keys. Here's hoping your next chapter is as captivating as all those memorable scenes you've given audiences over the years—and may critics always rate it five stars!

Cheers, maestro!
