Michael Mann is celebrating his 81st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter-producer Michael Mann (The Insider, Heat, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 81st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Mann, a cultural icon

Born Michael Kenneth Mann in Chicago on February 5, 1943, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Mann'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 Michael hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Michael Mann as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 81.

Happy Birthday, Michael, you're the best!
