Michael Palin is celebrating his 80th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed comedians of his generation.
Popular comedian-actor-author-television host Michael Palin (A Fish Called Wanda, Monty Python's Flying Circus, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 80th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Palin, a cultural icon
Born Michael Edward Palin in Sheffield on May 5, 1943, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Palin's not just a great comedian, 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 Palin as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 80.
Happy Birthday, Michael, you're the best!
