Let's make this birthday one to remember.

87 years old (Born on October 08, 1937)

Happy Birthday to the graceful Merle Park! May your day be filled with more elegance than a perfectly executed pirouette and as much joy as audiences felt watching you dazzle on stage. Your legendary performances at The Royal Ballet, especially in classics like "Giselle" and "The Sleeping Beauty," continue to inspire dancers everywhere—though we're still trying (and failing) not to trip over our own feet!

Here's wishing that today brings back memories of standing ovations, flawless solos, and perhaps fewer sore toes. Keep twirling through life gracefully; after all these years you're still setting standards we can only dream about reaching!
