## Caption

Actor Martin Sheen, who turns 79 today, pictured on the set of 'Apocalypse Now' with Francis Ford Coppola behind the camera filming Frederic Forrest.⁠
Sheen spent his 36th birthday on location, shooting the opening sequence in a Saigon hotel room. He was said to be completely inebriated. ⁠
Before the film wrapped after a notorious production run, Sheen had suffered a minor heart attack.⁠
Faring better today and with a remarkable body of work to his name, Sheen is also father to the Sheen and Estevez acting dynasty.⁠
