Today the brilliant @mandypatinkin turns 69 and we thought we'd pass along a story he recently shared with @collider:

“The most special moment was, we were climbing up the Cliffs of Insanity…We were in the studio and they had the mountain built, and the mountain had a rubber…seam down the middle, and in that seam was a forklift on the other side [that] you didn’t see, and a metal shaft that came in the middle of it. And so [Wallace Shawn] and Robin [Wright] and I were on bicycle seats sitting there to keep all of our weight off of André, ‘cause he had issues with his back…and Wally, there was a double there that morning for Wally, ‘cause Wally had a fear of heights…But we get on the thing and the forklift starts to go up, and Wally starts to clearly have issues with being lifted off the ground and the height. And André just puts his arms around him like a baby, and he says to Wally, “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of you.” And I’ll just never forget it.”

Happy Birthday, Mandy, from the entire family of The Princess Bride. We love you ❤
