Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on September 07, 1950)

Happy Birthday, Peggy Noonan! From crafting iconic speeches that made presidents sound smarter to penning bestsellers that kept bookstores busy, you've truly mastered the art of words. Your insightful columns in The Wall Street Journal continue to enlighten readers—and occasionally ruffle feathers—proving you're still the queen of sharp wit and graceful prose.

Whether dissecting politics or celebrating character (we're looking at you, Ronald Reagan), your voice remains timelessly relevant. Here's hoping your birthday is filled with as much joy and laughter as your writing has brought us over the years—just don't write a column about how we celebrated!
