Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on May 01, 1969)

Film director; He is famous from Rushmore.

Graduate of the University of Texas at Austin. Some of the character names in his movies, most notably in Rushmore (1998), were actually the names of his St. John's classmates. Wes Anderson attended St. John's School in Houston, TX. While shooting The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) the once pasty, bookish Anderson got a tan, grew his hair long, and got into better shape. His frequent star, Anjelica Huston, noted that Wes had "suddenly" become "handsome". Martin Scorsese is a big fan of his movies, even choosing him as "The Next Martin Scorsese" in an Esquire magazine article.

Wrote Bottle Rocket (1996), Rushmore (1998) and The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) with Owen Wilson, whose brother, Luke Wilson, appears in all three movies.
