CLEVELAND - Filmmaker Spike Lee, one of my all-time favorite people in the entertainment industry celebrates his 52nd birthday today.Happy Birthday, sir.
Lee, a Brooklyn, N.Y. product through and through made his name as a controversial, envelope pushing filmmaker in the 1980's. His first six films, beginning with 1986's She's Gotta Have It and ending with the 1992 epic Malcolm X are hands down, some of the best films of the past 25 years. I became aware of him after his gutsy Do the Right Thing, a 1989 film that remains his most popular work and the flick with which he is most identified by.
Hope your day goes well, Mr. Lee and may you live long and continue to prosper.
