86 years old (Born on July 28, 1938)
Happy Birthday, Robert! Whether sailing through Australia's gritty tales in "The Fatal Shore," dazzling readers with your sharp wit as Time magazine's trusted art critic, or guiding audiences deftly through artistic revolutions on TV's legendary program "The Shock of the New," you've mastered making history genuinely interesting—quite a feat!May your day be filled with creativity and humor equal to your passionate critiques. If life were art, you'd be that masterpiece everyone pretends to understand—but thankfully, you always explain yourself brilliantly. Cheers to another year being smarter than us all; the world is brighter—and funnier—for it.
