Happy birthday! Charlie Kaufman turns 67 today

Charlie Kaufman is celebrating his 67th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed screenwriters of his generation.

Popular screenwriter-director Charlie Kaufman (I'm Thinking of Ending Things, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 67th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Kaufman, a cultural icon

Born Charles Stuart Kaufman in Westbury on November 19, 1958, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Kaufman's not just a great screenwriter, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Charlie hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Charlie Kaufman as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 67.

Happy Birthday, Charlie, you're the best!
