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.
