Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on October 12, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Richard Price! May your day be as gritty and compelling as the streets you've masterfully captured in novels like "Clockers" and "Lush Life." Here's hoping your celebration is more vibrant than a scene from "The Wanderers," but slightly less chaotic.

From penning Oscar-nominated screenplays like "The Color of Money" to crafting unforgettable urban tales, you've given us stories that linger long after the credits roll. May this birthday bring you joy worthy of a cinematic close-up—minus any Mad Dogs or questionable Glory. Cheers to another year of sharp dialogue, vivid characters, and plot twists only you could imagine!
