Today we send best wishes to Mel Brooks on his 99th birthday. For almost a century Mel has given us so much laughter that it's hard to list all of the shows, movies and other forms of entertainment that he produced, directed, and acted in.
A recipient of numerous accolades, he is one of 21 entertainers to win the EGOT, which includes an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. He received a Kennedy Center Honor in 2009, a Hollywood Walk of Fame star in 2010, the AFI Life Achievement Award in 2013, a British Film Institute Fellowship in 2015, a National Medal of Arts in 2016, a BAFTA Fellowship in 2017, and the Honorary Academy Award in 2024.
Here's a summary of his many achievements. He's still active and busy developing new productions, including the sequel to Spaceballs. Go Mel!
