Let's make this birthday one to remember.

92 years old (Born on February 22, 1933)

Happy birthday, Nicholas Pileggi! You're the wiseguy behind one of cinema's most iconic gangster tales. When you put pen to paper, mobsters gained charm and even shaving garlic became cinematic gold. Your partnership with Scorsese turned gritty narratives into classic screen magic—Goodfellas still inspires us all to keep our friends close (and garlic thinner).

Your storytelling genius has stood the test of time; decades later, we can't resist quoting your characters at family dinners or work meetings—usually earning amused looks rather than fearful respect. May your celebrations be legendary and devoid of unexpected sit-downs today! Cheers to another year "funny like a clown" but beloved by everyone around you!
