Happy 71st Birthday to Joel Coen (American Jewish filmmaker, regularly collaborates with brother Ethan)

 Producer - director - writer

born 29 Nov. 1954

Minneapolis, MN

Married to Oscar-winning

actress Frances McDormand

since 1984.

Films often center around or

include a botched crime :

Raising Arizona (1987)

Fargo (1996) and later

TV series.

TRIVIA: Roderick Jaymes,

credited for editing Joel &

Ethan's films, actually doesn't

exist.  That name is a 

pseudonym for work the two

brothers undertake for 

themselves.

Their father Edward Coen

was an economist at the

University of Minnesota and

their mother an art historian

at St. Cloud State University.
