Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on November 17, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Steven Desouza! From Beverly Hills Cop III to Possessed, you've given us thrills and laughs that still echo through Hollywood. Your scripts have kept audiences on the edge of their seats—and occasionally rolling in the aisles—proving your talent is as timeless as Axel Foley's wisecracks.

May this birthday be filled with more excitement than a high-speed chase scene and fewer plot twists than one of your suspenseful thrillers. Here's hoping you continue scripting blockbuster moments both onscreen and off; after all, nobody writes action-packed birthdays better than you do! Cheers to another year worthy of applause!
