(Also I noticed he has a son called Brontis, which reminded me that a friend of mine - surname, Harris - always used to say he would name his first born son, Brontis or Tyrannis.)

Happy 90th Birthday to Richard Lester!
(Also raise a glass to John Boorman, who turned 89 yesterday!)

Thanks! Don't forget about The Running Jumping Richard Lester Thread(Note: that thread has a Jesse Garon Presley twin for some reason)

I want to think Lester and Boorman partied together, but Boorman lives in Ireland and Lester in England presumably

Costa-Gavras, 88
Inspired by a reference to a 2019 film of his.

Alejandro Jodorowsky is 93 today. ¡Feliz cumpleaños, señor!

Kenneth Anger recently turned 95. Is anyone else living who made films in the 40s?
― Chris L, Thursday, 17 February 2022 15:17 (two years ago) link
Also if he was really in A Midsummer Night's Dream (disputed) he's one of the few people alive who were in films in the 1930s. 104-year-old Marsha Hunt would be another in that small group.

If you allow a loose interpretation of "made" and "films", according to the IMDB link above, both Peter Brook and Mel Brooks got their first credits as writers for TV in 1949.

I was thinking more first directing credit.
