Let's make this birthday one to remember.

93 years old (Born on October 22, 1931)

Happy Birthday, William Hanley! May your day be filled with whispers—preferably into your good ear—and celebrations worthy of an Independence Day. Your timeless wit and sharp storytelling have kept audiences captivated since 1962, proving that great drama never goes out of style.

From the quiet brilliance of "Whisper into My Good Ear" to the spirited charm of "Today Is Independence Day," you've given us unforgettable moments on stage and page. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as you've brought readers and theatergoers alike. Cheers to another year filled with creativity, laughter, and perhaps fewer whispers!
