Jonathan Demme 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-screenwriter Jonathan Demme (The Silence of the Lambs, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 80th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Demme, a cultural icon

Born Robert Jonathan Demme in Baldwin on February 22, 1944, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Demme'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 Jonathan hasn't done.

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

Happy Birthday, Jonathan, you're the best!
