Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on June 20, 1941)

Happy Birthday, Stephen Frears! You've given us royally good cinema—from the scandalous intrigues of "Dangerous Liaisons" to Helen Mirren's regal brilliance in "The Queen." Your films have taught us valuable lessons: never trust a grifter, always organize your record collection autobiographically ("High Fidelity"), and when in doubt, cast Judi Dench.

Your knack for storytelling has earned you Oscar nods and timeless acclaim. Whether it's navigating royal drama or exploring quirky relationships, your cinematic charm remains unmatched. Here's hoping your birthday is as memorable as John Cusack holding a boombox overhead—iconic and unforgettable. Cheers to many more scenes worth celebrating!
