Happy birthday, Robert Benton! Celebrating another sequel in your life's brilliant film series—though admittedly, we're not sure how you'll top directing Dustin Hoffman's fatherly crisis in "Kramer vs. Kramer." Clearly you've mastered both heartfelt drama and comedic timing; perhaps life itself is the original "Late Show"?Your remarkable talent continues inspiring filmmakers chasing their own Oscar glory. May you find today's cake sweeter than all those Academy accolades combined—and may it have fewer angsty custody battles involved.
Here's hoping this year brings a storyline full of joy rivaling even “Places in the Heart.” Enjoy your day—you've earned rave reviews!
