Jean-Marie Poiré is celebrating his 78th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.
Popular director-screenwriter-producer Jean-Marie Poiré (The Visitors, Santa Claus is a bastard, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 78th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Poiré, a cultural icon
Born in Paris on July 10, 1947, Jean-Marie Poiré's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Poiré's not just a great director, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Jean-Marie hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Jean-Marie Poiré as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 78.
Happy Birthday, Jean-Marie, you're the best!
