The iconic and legendary director turns 77 on Wednesday, Jul. 10, 2024.

Jean-Marie Poiré is celebrating his 77th 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 77th 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 77.

Happy Birthday, Jean-Marie, you're the best!
