Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on December 11, 1952)

Happy birthday to the brilliantly clever Susan Seidelman! From enlivening cinema screens with classics like "Desperately Seeking Susan," you’ve always had a gift for effortlessly blending punk energy, edgy humor, and iconic style. You gave us Madonna as Susan—forever turning New York thrift store culture into glamorous coolness—and set a fresh benchmark for female-driven storytelling that paved the way beyond the 1980s.

And while “Sex and the City” remains eternally fashionable (we're still debating Cosmopolitan versus Martini), your knack for authentic characters never grows older. Here's wishing you many more scenes filled with laughter, wisdom, fashion statements—or just desperately seeking cake!
