Let's make this birthday one to remember.

93 years old (Born on December 20, 1931)

Happy Birthday, Terry Sanders! May your day be as timeless and award-winning as "A Time Out of War," yet filled with fewer battles over cake slices. Your cinematic brilliance has given us unforgettable portraits—from the visionary Maya Lin to the maestro Zubin Mehta—proving that documentaries can indeed have more drama than Hollywood blockbusters.

Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success, laughter behind the scenes, and perhaps another Oscar-worthy moment (or at least a documentary about how gracefully you're aging). Keep directing life's best moments; after all, nobody captures reality quite like you do. Cheers!
