Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on May 14, 1971)

Happy birthday to Sofia Coppola, the director who made us all realize that being lost in translation isn't just a language barrier—it's an entire existential crisis. Thanks for beautifully reminding us it's okay if our lives are gently bewildering; your Oscar-winning charm certainly makes confusion look downright glamorous.

From "The Virgin Suicides" to recent masterpieces like "Priscilla," you've mastered quiet elegance and cinematic subtlety. Hopefully this year you feel less Bill Murray-in-Tokyo-confused and more Scarlett Johansson-finding-her-purpose contented. Wishing you another brilliant trip around the sun filled with film festivals, witty screenplays, and maybe fewer awkward hotel bar conversations!
