Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on January 19, 1939)

Happy Birthday, Michael Nolin! You're the maestro behind "Mr. Holland's Opus," a film that taught us all to appreciate life's symphony—even if some of our notes are hilariously off-key. Your storytelling brilliance continues to inspire audiences and remind everyone there's always room for an encore.

May your birthday be as epic as Mr. Holland’s final performance—filled with standing ovations, laughter-filled moments, and cake slices bigger than Richard Dreyfuss' mustache in its prime! Here's wishing you another year filled with creativity, success—and perhaps fewer rewrites (though we know you'll nail them anyway). Cheers to many more timeless masterpieces ahead!
