Let's make this birthday one to remember.

89 years old (Born on October 23, 1936)

Happy Birthday, Philip Kaufman! May your day be as delightfully complex and intriguing as "The Unbearable Lightness of Being," yet far less complicated than Henry Miller's love life in "Henry & June." Your films have taught us that passion is timeless, art is daring, and Fred Ward can rock a fedora like nobody else.

From exploring the depths of human desire to capturing life's bittersweet ironies, you've given cinema some truly unforgettable moments. Here's hoping your birthday brings you joy lighter than being itself—and may this year bring even more creative adventures worthy of your brilliant storytelling legacy. Cheers!
