Let's make this birthday one to remember.

70 years old (Born on May 12, 1954)

Happy Birthday, Rafael! Another year fearless and fabulous—clearly you're aging like a fine screenplay. From captivating readers with "Fearless" to haunting audiences through the eerie corridors of "Dark Water," your storytelling continues to thrill us all.

Your memoir, "A Happy Marriage," didn't just win hearts—it snagged the Los Angeles Times Book Prize too! Clearly, you've mastered both fiction and reality (a rare feat indeed). May this birthday bring you as much joy as your words have brought readers everywhere—and may your next chapter be even more compelling than the last. Cheers to another timeless classic—you!
