Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on March 04, 1953)

Happy Birthday to the incredible Scott Hicks—master storyteller, cinematic wizard, and the one who truly made our hearts (and pianos!) shine. From capturing the real magic behind David Helfgott's inspiring journey in "Shine," earning you an unforgettable Academy Award nomination, to bringing Stephen King's poignant world alive in "Hearts in Atlantis," your storytelling continues to inspire and thrill audiences around the globe!

Here's wishing you another fantastic year of captivating stories, endless creativity, and moments filled with laughter (preferably with fewer intense dramas than your films!). Happy birthday Scott—may this year top every legendary reel you've directed!
