Jean-Jacques Annaud is celebrating his 80th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director Jean-Jacques Annaud (The Bear, The Name of the Rose, Quest for Fire, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 80th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Annaud, a cultural icon

Born in Juvisy-sur-Orge on October 1, 1943, Jean-Jacques Annaud's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Annaud's not just a great director, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Jean-Jacques hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Jean-Jacques Annaud as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 80.

Happy Birthday, Jean-Jacques, you're the best!
