Cityfile: New York's Most Notable and Influential

Happy Birthday | Designer Oscar de la Renta turns 77 today. Rufus Wainwright is 36. Actor Willem Dafoe is turning 54. John Leguizamo and David Spade are both turning 45. Publishing industry heavyweight Ann Godoff is 60. Actor Danny Glover is turning 63. John Wren, the president and CEO of the ad agency Omnicom, is turning 57. Former senator and presidential candidate Bob Dole is turning 86. George Clinton is 68. The Eagles' Don Henley is 62. Film director Paul Schrader is 63. Former football player (and now ESPN personality) Keyshawn Johnson is 37. And Disney star Selena Gomez celebrates her 17th birthday today.

It's Good to Be John Wren | Remember when mega ad agency Omnicom announced it planned to lay off 3,500 employees? That was a full three weeks ago, but there's much better news to report today, at least if you happen to be John Wren, the agency's CEO: He collected another $25 million in Omnicom stock just ten days after announcing the layoffs. How nice to see that in these times of flux, some things stay the same! [AgencySpy]

Happy Birthday | You can bet the always-elegant Oscar de la Renta will be especially well-dressed today: He turns 76. Other people celebrating: Actor Willem Dafoe is 53. Comedian John Leguizamo is turning 44, as is David Spade. Crooner Rufus Wainwright is 35. Literary queen Ann Godoff is 59. So is union leader Mike Fishman. Advertising honcho John Wren turns 56.
