Happy Birthday, Marcello Mastroianni!

(September 28, 1924 - December 19, 1996)

“Oggi è il mio compleanno. Compio settantadue anni. Be’, è una bella età. Quando ne avevo venti, immaginando un uomo di settantadue anni, l’avrei visto come un vecchio bacucco. Ma io non mi sento così vecchio. Forse perché ho avuto la fortuna di lavorare, senza sosta. Credo di aver superato i centosettanta film: un bel record. Quindi l’ho ben riempita, la mia vita. Mi posso contentare. Insisto: sono fortunato.”

Today is my birthday. I’m 72. It’s a beautiful age. When I was twenty, imaigning a 72 year old man, was seeing him old and tired. But I don’t feel like that. Maybe because I have had the luck of working, non-stop. I think I’ve made my 170th film: a good record. I’ve lived well, my life. I can be happy. I insist, I am lucky.
