Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on January 25, 1952)

Happy birthday, Whit Stillman! May your special day be filled with witty dialogue and delightfully awkward ballroom dances reminiscent of the timeless charm captured in "Metropolitan." Your gift for blending humor, sophistication, and gentle satire has earned its rightful place among cinema classics—making audiences both chuckle and ponder life's subtleties since 1990.

Congratulations again on crafting a screenplay that brought tuxedo-clad debutantes onto Hollywood's radar (surely an Oscar nomination never went out of style)! Here's hoping this next chapter brings you continued success: good friends sharing thoughtful conversations—and perhaps fewer existential crises over polite cocktail hours. Cheers to you!
